(a)
Interpretation: The order of increasing acidity for the given compounds is to be stated.
Concept introduction: In a simple molecule, the acidity of a particular proton depends on the atom to which that proton is attached.
In the periodic table, the acidity of a compound increases across a row as the electronegativity increases on moving from left to right and decreases down a column as the size of atom increases on moving from top to bottom. The order of acidity is

(h)
Interpretation: The order of increasing acidity for the given compounds is to be stated.
Concept introduction: In hydrocarbons, alkanes, alkenes and alkynes, the order of acidity is predicted by their s-character. More is the s-character, more is the acidity.
Answer to Problem 2.49P
The correct order of increasing acidity is,
Explanation of Solution
The given compounds are,
Figure 1
For alkanes, alkenes and alkynes, the order of s-character is,
More is the s-character of a compound, more is the acidity. Hence, the correct order of increasing acidity is shown below.
Figure 2
The correct order of increasing acidity is shown in Figure 2.
