- As we shall see in Chapter 19, hydrogens on a carbon adjacent to a carbonyl group are far more acidic than those not adjacent to a carbonyl group. The anion derived from acetone, for example, is more stable than is the anion derived from ethane. Account for the greater stability of the anion from acetone.arrow_forwardExplain each the acidity of 0.1M acetic acid, 0.1M chloroacetic acid and 0.1M trichloroacetic acid and compare it.arrow_forwardAmong the sets of acids, which is/are correctly arranged according to INCREASING acidity? One or more sets may be chosen. Explain why. a. HBr < H2Se < AsH3 b. CH4 < PH3 < H2S c. H2S < H2Te < H2Se d. HSO3– < H2SO3 < H2SO4arrow_forward
- Place the following compounds in order of relative acidity. Consider 1 to be the most acidic and 6 to be the least acidic.arrow_forwardConsider cyclohexane and benzene (draw the structures below). Draw the conjugate base of each molecule and then explain why cyclohexane is the weaker acid.arrow_forwardConsider the following reaction: (a) What is the acid on the left side of the equation? (b) What is the base on the left side of the equation? (c) What is the conjugate base of the acid on the left? (d) What is the conjugate acid of the base on the left? (e) What is the acid on the right side of the equation? (f) What is the base on the right side of the equation? (g) What is the conjugate base of the acid on the right?
