CAPE Chemistry Unit 2 · 2014 · Paper 1 · Question Q9
Item 9 refers to the compounds, P, Q, R and S, whose structures are given below.
P: \text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_4\text{CH}_2\text{OH}
Q: \text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_3\text{CH}_2\text{COOH}
R: \text{CH}_3(\text{CH}_2)_3\text{CHClCOOH}
S: \text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{OH}
The correct sequence of the compounds above, in order of DECREASING acid strength, is
- (A)P, S, Q, R
- (B)Q, R, S, P
