Arrange the following in increasing order of acidity and name the property which decides this order :
(i) HCOOH ,CH3 COOH, CH2Cl COOH.
(ii) CH3COOH, CH3OH, C6H5OH.
(i) HCOOH, CH3COOH, CH2ClCOOH
Increasing order of acidic character
HCOOH < CH3COOH < CH2Cl —COOH
It is decided by the inductive effect.
(ii) CH3COOH, CH3OH, C6H5OH.
Increasing order of acidic character
CH3OH < CH3COOH < C6H5OH
It is decided by the inductive and mesomeric effect.

(i) Tin with aqueous sodium hydroxide.
(ii) Copper with dilute nitric acid.
(iii) Bromine with sodium sulphite.
(iv) Preparation of bleaching powder.
Write the equation and name the following reactions :
(i) Acetic acid with red phosphorus and chlorine.
(ii) Acetaldehyde with aluminium ethoxide.
(iii) Phenol with acetyl chloride in the presence of AlCl3.
(iv) Benzaldehyde with concentrated sodium hydroxide.
