1.

Arrange the following in the increasing order of their property indicated:a. Benzoic acid, Phenol, Picric acid, Salicylic acid (pka values).b. Acetaldehyde, Acetone, Methyl tert butyl ketone (reactivity towards NH2OH).c. ethanol, ethanoic acid, benzoic acid (boiling point)

Answer»

(a) Picric acid < salicylic acid < benzoic acid

(b) Methyl tert – butyl ketone < acetone< Acetaldehyde

(c) ethanol < ethanoic acid < benzoic acid (boiling point of carboxylic acids is higher than alcohols due to extensive hydrogen bonding , boiling point increases with increase in molar mass)
