Using the
a. b. c.
(a)
Interpretation: The correct
Concept introduction: Carboxylic acids are the carbon compounds that contain carboxyl group as a major functional group. They are polar due to electronegativity difference between the atoms in a compound. They sometimes exist as a dimer. Dimers are the compounds that consist of two monomer units connected by bonds or forces. Carboxylic acids are synthesized from alkynes, alkene, benzene derivatives, alcohol and allylic halides by using different reagents.
Answer to Problem 19.35P

- a. Rank the following carboxylic acids from strongest to weakest acid: CH3CH2CH2COOH CH3CH2CHCOOH ClCH2CH2CH2COOH CH3CHCH2COOH b. How does the presence of an electronegative substituent such as Cl affect the acidity of a carboxylic acid? c. How does the location of the substituent affect the acidity of the carboxylic acid?arrow_forwardAn unknown compound, X, is thought to have a carboxyl group with a p?a of 2.5 and a second ionizable group with a p?a between 5.0 and 8.0. When 50.0 mL of 0.2 M NaOH is added to 75.0 mL of a 0.2 M solution of X at pH 2.5, the pH increases to 7.13. Calculate the p?a of the second ionizable group of X.arrow_forwardDetermine 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
- What is the K a of an acid whose pK a is 8.60?arrow_forwardWhich of the ff statements is false? In aqueous solution the order of base strength R3N > R2NH > RNH2 > NH3. Alkyl groups increase the electron density on nitrogen, making the amine more basic. Alkyl groups stabilize the positive charge on the conjugate acid making the ammonium ion less acidic. Solvation through H-bonding with water is more important in the conjugate acid than in the free amine.arrow_forwardWhat is the conjugate acid of H2PO4-1? Select one: a. H3PO4 b. HPO4-2 c. PO4-3 d.
