    Which one of the following order of acid strength is correct?

    A)  \[RCOOH>HOH>ROH>HC\equiv CH\]

    B)  \[RCOOH>HOH>CH\equiv CH>ROH\]

    C)  \[RCOOH>HC\equiv CH>HOH>ROH\]

    D)  \[RCOOH>ROH>HOH>CH\equiv CH\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Acid dissociation constant value for acetic acid, water, ethanol and ethyne are 4.86, 15.4, 16.01 and 24.95 respectively As we know that\[p{{K}_{a}}\]is inversely proportional to acidic-strength so, larger the\[p{{K}_{a}}\]value, lower is acidic strength. Therefore, the correct order is \[RCOOH>HOH>ROH>HC\equiv CH\]
