(a)
To determine: The solvent that would be compatible with the acids and bases involved in the given reaction.
Interpretation: The solvent that would be compatible with the acids and bases involved in the given reaction is to be suggested.
Concept introduction: Solvent affects the solubility, stability, rate and path of the reaction. Generally, in acid-base reaction, acidic strength of an acid reactant should be higher than that of the solvent. If it is less than acidic strength of solvent, then base abstracts proton from the solvent rather than the acidic reactant.
