Answer:
The relative acidic strengths of the
alcohols in an increasing order is :
\[{{(C{{H}_{3}})}_{3}}COH<C{{H}_{3}}CH(OH)C{{H}_{3}}\]\[<C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}OH<C{{H}_{3}}OH\]
The acidic strength of the
alcohol is due to the cleavage of O?H bond. Thus, greater the number of alkyl
groups present or more the size of such groups, difficult will be the bond
cleavage and, thus, lesser will be the acidic strength.
