Among the following marked proton of which compound shows lowest pK a value?

Among the following marked proton of which compound shows lowest pKa value?

Solution

The smaller the value of pKa, the stronger the acid. The acidic nature of the compound depends on the stability of conjugate base.

The stability of conjugate base formed by above compound is more stable than other three compounds given.

So it has least pKa value.
