Solution

Dear Student,
The acidic strength of compounds will depend upon the capability of compound to give the H⁺ ion.
The most acidic will be the one which give the H⁺ ion easily in solution.
The order will be
nitrobenzene< azide<aniline < alkylamine < ether< tertiary alcohol< secondary alcohol< primary alcohol<ketone < tertiary aldehyde< secondsry aldehyde < primary aldehyde < phenol < carboxylic acid
Regards!
