Ethyne> Ethene >Ethane .

This can be explained with the Hydrogen donating tendency of hydrocarbon, carbon which is more electronegative will create high positive charge on hydrogen, hence that hydrocarbon will me most acidic.

Ethyne is most acidic because it contains acidic hydrogen (hydrogen connected with sp hybridized carbon ) % S character is 50%,hence most electronegative .

Question Image

Both the hydrogen atoms are identical and connected with carbon which is sp hybridised hence, Ethyne is most acidic.

Ethene is less acidic than Ethene as the carbon containing hydrogen is sp2 hybridized (%s character is 33.3, hence less electronegative).

Question Image

Four identical hydrogen connected with sp2 hybridised carbon,hence less acidic in nature.

Ethane is least acidic because both the carbons are sp3 hybridised (%s character is 25%, hence least electronegative).

Question Image

Six hydrogen is attached with sp3 hybridised carbon.
