Compare the acidic strength of the following (1 = least acidic, 4 = most acidic).

CH₃CH₂-H CH₃O-H H-F CH₃CH₂NH-H

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

The conjugate bases are CH₃CH₂⁻, CH₃O⁻, F⁻ and CH₃CH₂NH⁻ : the charges sit on C, O, F and N, all in the same period, so electronegativity decides. Stability order of the bases : C⁻ N⁻ O⁻ F⁻, so the acidity order is CH₃CH₃ CH₃CH₂NH₂ CH₃OH HF, i.e. 1, 3, 4, 2.
