Expert Solution
Step 1

(a)The hydrogen atom in CH3CH3 is attached to sp3 hybridized carbon atom whereas, the hydrogen atom in alkyne (CHCH) is attached to sp hybridized carbon.

Acidic character is directly proportional to % of s-orbital character.

The % of s-orbital character in sp3 hybridization is 25 % and that of in sp hybridization is 50%.

Therefore, the stronger acid is given below.
