Answer:
Since
-I-effect of F is much stronger than that of Cl, therefore,
is a stronger acid than
. Further,
group has a weak
-I-effect though much weaker than those of F and Cl, therefore,
is a stronger acid than
but weaker than
and
. Now
is a much stronger acid
than
because
ion left after the loss
of a proton is stabilized by resonance but no such stabilization is. possible
for
ion (obtained after loss
of a proton from
). Thus, the
overall, acidic strength decreases in the order:
