Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : CH3OH

Methanol is an example of the Alcohol group.

  • This liquid is acidic, flammable, colorless and has a distinctive fragrance close to that of ethanol (drinking alcohol).
  • Methanol is slightly more acidic than water.
  • The order of acidity in aqueous solution is as following:
  • CH3OH > H2O > CH3CH2OH > (CH3)2 CHOH
  • For an acid to be strong its conjugate base anion has to be very stable. Only then acid will disassociate faster to give hydronium ion.

Hence we can conclude that CH3OH is more acidic.
