Which of the following correctly lists the compounds in order of decreasing acidity? A) H2O > HCCH > NH3 > CH3CH3
B) HCCH > H2O > NH3 > CH3CH3
C) CH3CH3 > HCCH > NH3 > H2O
D) CH3CH3 > HCCH > H2O > NH3
E) H2O > NH3 > HCCH > CH3CH3

A) H2O > HCCH > NH3 > CH3CH3

Explanation:

H2O is known as a neural compound which a pH close to 7.0. This however makes it more acidic due to it having the lowest pH when compared to the others in the option.

The other options however have their acidic strength as follows: HCCH > NH3 > CH3CH3. This explains why the pattern of decreasing acidic strength is H2O > HCCH > NH3 > CH3CH3

i think   the answer is c hope i'm right

a. the law of proportion states the combination of 2 atoms in a specific ratio to produce multiple compounds such as the given statement of question ‘1st compound contains 88.8 % cu ’ indicates 88.8 g of cu is present along with 11.2 g oxygen in 100 g of compound whereas the statement ‘2st compound contains 79.9 % cu ’ indicates 79.9 g of cu is present along with 20.1 g oxygen in 100 g of compound

1st compound contains 88.8 g cu

for cu

m = 63 g /mol

atomic % = 88.8 /63 = 1.42

for o

m = 16 g /mol

atomic % = 11.2 /16 = 0.7

b. the emperical formula of 1st compound is

cu1.4o0.7
