Which of the following is the strongest acid? A) CH₃OH B) CH₃CHO C) CH₃COCH₃ D) CH₃COOH

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

D) CH3COOH (acetic acid) is the strongest acid among the options because it can donate a proton (H+) from its carboxyl group (-COOH), making it an acid. The ability to donate a proton and the stability of the resulting anion (acetate ion) make it a stronger acid compared to the others listed, which do not have this functional group or are less effective at stabilizing the negative charge after deprotonation.
