Expert Solution
Step 1

The more the electronegative substituent, the stronger the acid. This is because it weakens the bond and the proton can easily be released.

Hence, the order of electronegativity of the substituents is -CH3 < -SH < -OH

The order of increasing acidity on moving from left to right is: 1 < 2 < 3
