Maybe this will help :P http://academic.reed.edu/chemistry/roco/acidbase/most_acidicH.html

OpenStudy (abb0t):

More carbon less acidic. pKa of hydrocarbons is like 36-55 range (rough estimation)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p=x>z>y p is most acidic and y is the least acidic. use the fact that a strong acid yields a weak conjugate base. and remove each hydrogen and see whether the negative charge thus formed is stablilised or not. to look for stability give preference to resonance, then inductive effect.

sorry, i wrote it wrong. i was to write p>x>z>y apologies.
