Chapter 10, Problem 10.34UKC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The most acidic hydrogens present in the given compounds and the strong acid among them should be determined.

Concept introduction:

$\text{Bronsted-Lowry Acids}$: If a species loses a proton then it is considered as $\text{Bronsted-Lowry acid}\text{.}$

Strong Acids: Acids that dissociates into ions completely which results in easy donation of protons are considered as strong acids. Strong acid forms weaker conjugated base.

Weak Acids: Acids that do not easily dissociate into ions completely which has difficulty in proton donation are considered as weak acids. Weak acid forms stronger conjugated base

Electrostatic potential map: It is 3D representation of molecules which shows the distribution of charges present in the molecule. Generally red, orange, yellow, green and blue defines the charge potentials present in the molecule.

$RED<ORANGE<YELLOW<GREEN<BLUE$

The blue color indicates the most positive potential end and the red color defines the most negative potential end.
