MCQ

$ClCH_2CH_2OH$ is stronger acid than $CH_3CH_2OH$ because of

A
$-I$ effect of $Cl$ increases negative charge on $O$ atom of alcohol
B
$-I$ effect of $Cl$ disperses negative charge on $O$ atom to produce more stable cation
C
None of these
✓
$-I$ effect of $Cl$ disperses negative charge on $O$ atom to produce more stable anion

✓

Answer

Correct option: D.

$-I$ effect of $Cl$ disperses negative charge on $O$ atom to produce more stable anion

d
The correct option is $\mathbf{d}$

-I effect of Cl disperses -ve charge on O atom to produce more stable anion
