Q: Which of the following alcohols is the most acidic?
Solution:
Methanol is the most acidic among the given alcohols due to its smaller size and higher electronegativity.
Steps: 7
Show Steps
Step 1: Understand that alcohols are compounds that contain a hydroxyl group (-OH).
Step 2: Recognize that acidity in alcohols is related to how easily they can donate a proton (H+).
Step 3: Compare the sizes of the alcohol molecules. Smaller molecules tend to be more acidic.
Step 4: Look at the electronegativity of the atoms in the alcohol. Higher electronegativity can lead to stronger acids.
Step 5: Identify the alcohols given in the question and analyze their structures.
Step 6: Determine that methanol (CH3OH) is smaller and has a higher electronegativity compared to larger alcohols.
Step 7: Conclude that methanol is the most acidic among the given alcohols.
