Base Catalysed Hydrolysis of Esters

In CH3COOH ...

Question

In $C H_{3} C O O H$ and $C_{2} H_{5} C O O H$ which is more acidic?

Open in App

Solution

$C H_{3} C O O H$ is more acidic than $C_{2} H_{5} C O O H$ .
Here, $C_{2} H_{5} C O O H$ has more $+ i$ (inductive effect) which reduces the power of donating $H +$ to the solution.
But in case of acetic acid, the inductive effect is less than propanoic acid.
