Answer: CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH > CH₃CH₂COOH > ClCH₂CH₂COOH  > ClCH₂COOH

Answer:

CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH > CH₃CH₂COOH > ClCH₂CH₂COOH  > ClCH₂COOH

Explanation:

Electron-withdrawing groups (EWGs) increase acidity by inductive removal of electrons from the carboxyl group.

Electron-donating groups (EDGs) decrease acidity by inductive donation of electrons to the carboxyl group.

  • The closer the substituent is to the carboxyl group, the greater is its effect.
  • The more substituents, the greater the effect.  
  • The effect tails off rapidly and is almost zero after about three C-C bonds.

CH₃CH₂-CH₂COOH —  EDG —                         weakest —  pKₐ = 4.82

      CH₃-CH₂COOH — reference —                                     pKₐ = 4.75

  ClCH₂-CH₂COOH — EWG on β-carbon— stronger —     pKₐ = 4.00

           ClCH₂COOH — EWG on α-carbon — strongest —  pKₐ = 2.87

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Option 4 ) 1-butyne

Explanation:

In organic chemistry, you should use IUPAC convention in order to name an organic compound. First of all, you should identify the lenght of the organic chain, for this case, you have 5 C atoms, but in fact, you have a triple bond (which would be a substitute: ethynil-) as a substitute, so the main skeleton would have 4 C atoms (a butane)

Then, you start by numbering carbon N° 1 as the one that has the substitute (triple bound)-starting from the right, it would be the second C):

CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-C≡CH

Which will finally leads us to 1-butyne
