    The correct order of decreasing acidic nature of\[{{H}_{2}}O,\text{ }ROH,\text{ }CH\equiv CH\]and\[N{{H}_{3}}\]is

    A) \[CH\equiv CH>{{H}_{2}}O>ROH>N{{H}_{3}}\]

    B)  \[{{H}_{2}}O>ROH>CH=CH>N{{H}_{3}}\]

    C)  \[ROH>N{{H}_{3}}>CH\equiv CH>{{H}_{2}}O\]

    D)  \[{{H}_{2}}O>ROH>N{{H}_{3}}>CH\equiv CH\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    The conjugated bases of the given compounds are as \[O{{H}^{-}},R{{O}^{-}},CH\equiv {{C}^{-}},NH_{2}^{-}\] Higher the stability of conjugate base, higher is the ease to donate a proton and thus, higher is the acidity. Thus, the order of acidic nature is \[{{H}_{2}}O>ROH<CH\equiv CH>N{{H}_{3}}\]
