The order of acidic strength of following acids is

The order of acidic strength of following acids is
  1. (iii) \(>\) (ii) \(>\) (i)
  2. (ii) \(>\) (iii) \(>\) (i)
  3. (iii) \(>\) (i) \(>\) (ii)
  4. (ii) \(>\) (i) \(>\) (iii)

Solution


Aromatic carboxylic acids are stronger to aliphatic carboxylic acids. Acidic strength order: (iii) \( > \) (ii) \( > \) (i) [Option-(a)] * If (i) is 4-ethylbenzoic acid, answer will be option-(c), but it is not given in (i).
