Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The following alcohols have to be ranked from strongest to weakest acid.
Concept introduction:
If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.
If an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base. Weak base forms stronger conjugated acid.
Acidity of species depends on the electronegativity of atom attached to the acidic proton. Order of electronegativity of hybridization is
(b)
Interpretation:
The relative acidities of the alcohols has to be explained briefly.
Concept introduction:
If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.
If an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base. Weak base forms stronger conjugated acid.
Acidity of species depends on the electronegativity of atom attached to the acidic proton. Order of electronegativity of hybridization is
