Question

Arrange the Hydrogen of the following compounds from most acidic to least acidic : 

Choose the correct answer from the options given below : 
 

• A. B > E > C > A > D
• B. B > C > E > D > A
• C. E > C > B > D > A
• D. C > A > E > B > D

Hint:

A fast way to order acidity is to first look at the formal charges: positively charged species ($O-H^+, N-H^+$) are almost always more acidic than neutral molecules. Then look at the functional group: Carboxylic Acids $>$ Phenols/Activated alcohols $>$ Normal Alcohols $>$ Alkynes $>$ Amines $>$ Alkanes.
