Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The nature of nitrogen atom in the given heterocyclic compound as strongly basic or weakly basic on the basis of availability of the lone pair of electrons is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
According to Lewis acid-base theory, an acid is a species that accepts the lone pair of electrons while a base is a species that donates the lone pair of electrons.

- Rank the following compounds in order of increasing acidity (1 = least acidic, 3 = most acidic) and in the space provided use resonance (of the conjugate base) to explain why the compound you have labelled “3” is the most acidic.arrow_forwardSuppose you have a mixture of these three compounds. Devise a chemical procedure based on their relative acidity or basicity to separate and isolate each in pure form.arrow_forwardChoose the more basic of each of the following pairs Explain the reason of your choice.arrow_forward
- Rank the acidity of each of these compounds from least to most acidic. The explicitly drawn Hydrogens should be compared. What would be a small explanation as to why they are ranked in that order?arrow_forward2.) Draw the products of the following reactions. Provide an arrow-pushing mechanism for each reaction. Label the acid, base, conjugate base, and conjugate acid. Finally, indicate the direction of equilibrium. 요요 + NaHarrow_forwardRank these benzoic acid species in order of decreasing acidity.arrow_forward
- Arrange the following organic molecules in order of increasing acidity, starting with the least acidic and explain your answer CH3CH3, HC≡CH and CH2=CH2arrow_forwardRank the following compounds in their correct order of acidity. 1=Most acidic and 4=least acidic.arrow_forwardA carboxylic acid has two oxygen atoms, each with two nonbonding pairs of electrons. (b) Compare the resonance forms with those given previously for an acid protonated on thecarbonyl oxygen atom.(c) Explain why the carbonyl oxygen atom of a carboxylic acid is more basic than thehydroxy oxygen.arrow_forward
- Rank each set of compounds in order of increasing basicity.(a) NaOH, NH3, CH3NH2, Ph¬NH2 (arrow_forwardRank the following in order of acidity with 1 being the most acidicarrow_forwardWrite "most" under the compound which would be most reactive toward Bry/Feßry. Write "least" under the compound which would be least reactive toward Bry/FeBr). benzene benzoic acid phenol Write "highest" under the compound in the highest oxidation state. Write "lowest" under the one in the lowest oxidation state. CH Write "most" under the one which is most acidic.
