### Problem 4: Identifying Acidic Compounds

For each of the following sets of compounds, **circle** the most acidic compound and **box** the least acidic compound.

**Note:**
- Ph represents a phenyl group, a benzene ring attached to a substituent.
  
#### Sets of Compounds

**(a)**
- ClCH₂CO₂H
- CH₃CO₂H
- Cl₃CCO₂H

**(b)**
- Ph-OH
- Ph-CH₂OH
- CH₃(CH₂)₂SH

**(c)**
- Ph-SH
- Ph-OH
- Ph-NH₂

**(d)**
- CH₃CH₂NH₂
- CH₃CH₂NH₃⁺
- BrCH₂NH₂

---
This exercise focuses on identifying relative acidity in organic compounds, taking into account factors like electronegativity, resonance, and inductive effects.
