Answer to Problem 10.46AP
The increasing order of acidity of the molecules is stated below.
Explanation of Solution
Acidity of the molecules is dependent upon the stability of the ion formed after releasing hydrogen ion. Nitrogen atom which is positively charged, stabilizes the negative charge which is generated after releasing the hydrogen ion. Therefore, structure 3 is the most stable structure with most acidic character. Position of the electronegative atom also determines the strength of an acid. Closer the electronegative atom to the generated negative charge after releasing the hydrogen ion, more is the strength of the acid.
Therefore, increasing order of the given molecules is stated below.
