For this question, we have to remember the effect of an atom with high electronegativity as "Br". If the "Br" atom is closer to the carboxylic acid group (COOH) we will have an inductive effect. Due to the electronegativity of Br, the electrons of the C-H bond would be to the Br, then this bond would be weaker and the compound will be more acid (because is easier to produce the hydronium ion $H^+$ ).

With this in mind, for A in the last compound, we have 2 Br atoms near to the acid carboxylic group, so, we will have a high inductive effect, then the C-H would be weaker and we will have more acidity. Then we will have the compound with only 1 Br atom and finally, the last compound would be the one without Br atoms.

In B, the difference between the molecules is the position of the "Br" atom in the molecule. If the Br atom is closer to the acid group we will have a higher inductive effect and more acidity.

See figure 1

I hope it helps!

Calculate the mass of h2o and c6 h12 o6 required to make 250 gram of 40% solution of glucose

Sedaia [141]

40% solution of glucose is where the solution contains, by weight, 40% glucose and 60% water.

Therefore, if the total weight of the solution is 250 g,
mass of the glucose (C6H12O6) = 250 g * 40% = 100 g
mass of water (H2O) = 250 g * 60% = 150 g

Mass of water can also be calculated by subtracting the weight of glucose from the total weight of the solution:
mass of water = 250g-100g = 150g.
