provide explaination pls,
1) more stable is? a) trans 1,2 cyclohexane diol b) trans 1,3 cylohexame diol
2) correct order of acidic strength?
a) rcooh > hoh > roh > ch=ch (triple bonde not double)
b) rcooh > hoh > ch+ch > roh

301) The more stable compound should be trans 1,3-cyclohexanediol because here the two carbon atoms carrying ∂+ charge are separated by an intermediate carbon atom unlike the other compound where they are next to each other making the arrangement unstable.
2) The correct order of acidic strength is given by a). The negative charge (when H+ is furnished) should be on more electronegative atom to make conjugate base more stable.
