Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given compounds have same conjugate base structures is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Brønsted acids are those species which donate a proton. Acid loses a proton and forms conjugate base. The acidity of the compound depends upon the stability of its conjugate base. The more stable the conjugate base, the more acidic is the compound.
(b)
Interpretation:
Among the given compound, the more acidic compound with an energy diagram arguments is to be stated.
Concept introduction:

- Explain the difference in acidity of the following compounds.arrow_forward(b) Distinguish each as aromatic or antiaromatic in terms of electronic basis. Explain which one is more stable. (i) Compound A Compound B (ii) Compound C Compound D (iii) Compound E Compound Farrow_forwardWhich compound (i or ii) is the stronger base? Discuss your answer comprehensively by amoungst other providing an acid base reaction for one of the compounds.arrow_forward
- b) Which of the following compounds would you expect to be most acidic? Explain your answer, including clear drawing/analysis of the relevant conjugate base(s). H.arrow_forward2) For two of the following pairs of compounds, identify the most basic atom in each compound, and determine which of each pair is more basic, explaining your reasoning. a) b)arrow_forwardArraneg in order of increasing acidity and provide reasoning and justification for it.arrow_forward
- For each pair of molecules, predict which is the stronger acid and explain your reasoning. H2 (b) CH3 (a) or or H3C `CH3 F3C `CH3arrow_forwardAnswer ALL parts of this question. (a) Using resonance structures, discuss the following statement; phenols are much stronger acids than aliphatic alcohols. (b) Give the structure of a stronger organic acid than phenol. (c) Rationalise the acidity of the latter organic acid by drawing two resonance structures of the conjugate base.
