Hello i need help to understand on how to rank acidity of compounds

[Henri_1234]

For example i have this exercise that something like that will be on my exam, i just want to understand it, from where and how to begin ranking idk why but it seems so hard to me

Acid group COOH high acidic, followed by ketogroups, ester and alcohol

im a beginner on organic chemistry, can you tell me which of these are the ketogroups and ester groups?

[chenbeier]

R-CO-R' Keto, RCOOR' Ester

But I suggestion to get a book of organic chemistry or use the WEB. Acidic will be the H close to them.

The CH2 between the two Keto groups in c will be acidic

ok and which is more acidic B OR C ?

C is more acidic, why is it so. Check - I and / or - M Effect.

The groups which tend to be the most electron-withdrawing will make it easier for H+ to be released ( more stable anion).  A carbonyl C=O can spend some time as C⁺-O⁻. So the CH2 between 2 carbonyls gets the effect from both sides, making it easier for one of the Hs to come off, leaving an enolate anion, cf. keto-enol tautomerism: https://chem.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Organic_Chemistry/Organic_Chemistry_(Morsch_et_al.)/22%3A_Carbonyl_Alpha-Substitution_Reactions/22.01%3A_Keto-Enol_Tautomerism. 

You can apply the same logic to A vs. F.

If you have an exam coming, you must have some revision notes or lecture material on this kind of thing.
