The correct order of decreasing acidity of the following aliphatic acids is

  1. HCOOH > CH3COOH > (CH3)2CHCOOH > (CH3)3CCOOH
  2. HCOOH > (CH3)3CCOOH > (CH3)2CHCOOH > CH3COOH
  3. (CH3)3CCOOH > (CH3)2CHCOOH > CH3COOH > HCOOH
  4. CH3COOH > (CH3)2CHCOOH > (CH3)3CCOOH > HCOOH

Answer

(1) HCOOH > CH3COOH > (CH3)2CHCOOH > (CH3)3CCOOH

Solution

Alkyl groups are electron-releasing (+I); they destabilise the carboxylate anion and decrease acidity.

HCOOH has no alkyl group, and the +I effect increases with the number of methyl groups: CH3 < (CH3)2CH < (CH3)3C.

Acidity: HCOOH > CH3COOH > (CH3)2CHCOOH > (CH3)3CCOOH
