MCQ
Strength of acidity is in order:
  • A
    $\ce{II>I}$
  • $\ce{I>II}$
  • C
    $\ce{I=II}$
  • D
    Can not be determined

Answer

Correct option: B.
$\ce{I>II}$
As we know that the strength of acidity inversely depends upon the $+I$ effect.
Thus, due to $+I$ effect of methyl group $\left(-\mathrm{CH}_3\right), I$ is more acidic than $II.$
Hence the correct order of strength of acidity is $-I>II.$
