How many of the following acids will show higher reactivity towards esterification reaction as compared to acetic acid?

Answer:

1.00

Solution:

The order of reactivity of carboxylic acids towards esterification reaction is, $HCOOH > {CH}_{3} COOH > {RCH}_{2} COOH > R_{2} CHCOOH > R_{3} CCOOH$
Thus, only methanoic acid will show higher reactivity towards esterification reaction as compared to acetic acid.
