(a)
Interpretation:
The reason as to why
Concept introduction:
The delocalization of electrons results in the formation of resonance structure. The curved-arrow notation traces the flow of the electrons in a compound. This notation is used to derive the resonance structure.

- Rank 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.(a) Draw the resonance forms of a carboxylic acid that is protonated on the hydroxyoxygen atom.(b) Compare the resonance forms with those given previously for an acid protonated on thecarbonyl oxygen atomarrow_forwardThe presence of a pi bond also makes a compound a base. With this in mind, draw the conjugate acid of ethylene, CH2=CH2.arrow_forward
- Which is more acidic, p-methylphenol or phenol? why? Why is water more acidic than ethanol but slightly less acidic than methanol? Explain the acidity trend of alcohols: 1>2 > 3arrow_forwardWhich compound is the strongest base? NH2 NH2 NH2 NH2 `NH2 O2N III IV V II O V O II O IVarrow_forwardUsing the data in Appendix C, determine which of the following bases is strong enough to deprotonate acetonitrile (CH3CN), so that equilibrium favors the products: (a) NaH; (b) Na2CO3; (c) NaOH; (d) NaNH2; (e) NaHCO3.arrow_forward
- Draw the resonance structure of the following intermediates in the nitration of phenol: OH =arrow_forward(a) Draw the structure of the hemiacetal formed from one mole of benzaldehyde and one mole of ethanol. (b) Draw the structure of the acetal formed from one mole of benzaldehyde and two moles of ethanol. (c) Draw the structure of 2-methoxy-2-butanol. What compounds could you prepare this from? (d) Draw the structure of 3-methoxyl-2-butanol. What functional groups are present? Is this an acetal, a hemiacetal, or neither? Explain. (e) Identify the functional groups in the molecules shown below. Circle any acetals or hemiacetal, and identify which they are. 0-arrow_forwardRank 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_forward
- (a) Draw the structure of the hemiacetal formed from one mole of benzaldehyde and one mole of ethanol. (b) Draw the structure of the acetal formed from one mole of benzaldehyde and two moles of ethanol. (c) Draw the structure of 2-methoxy-2-butanol. What compounds could you prepare this from?arrow_forward4.) Phenol Why slightly soluble in water? Why insoluble in HCl? Why completely soluble in NaOH? Why insoluble in NaHCO?arrow_forwardO= O + NaOH H₂O, Aarrow_forward
