Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The stronger base is to be identified using
Concept introduction:
The strength of an acid is generally described in terms of acidity constant
A large value of
The value of
The higher is the dissolution constant, that is, the reagent can produce more ions when dissolved in water, the stronger is the acid. Thus, by the above relation, strong acids have low
The stronger the acid, the weaker is its conjugate base.
Larger the value of

- (a) Which proton in A is most acidic? (b) Decide whether A is more orless acidic than B, and explain your choice.arrow_forwardb) 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_forwardA)Which of these compounds (i and ii) are the weaker base.. B)Why would you suggest soarrow_forward
- Arrange the compounds in each set in order of increasing base strength. consult Table 4.1 for pKa values of the conjugate acid of each base.arrow_forwardRank the following compounds in terms of increasing acidity (least acidic first). Explain your ranking. Making sure to say which hydrogen in each molecule is the most acidic, and discuss the relative stability of the conjugate bases.arrow_forward(b) Which of the following bases is most basic? (strongest base has the most stable conjugate acid). Provide a reason for your answer. H2N-CF3 H2N A B Darrow_forward
- List the given compounds in order of increasing acidity (lowest first). Give a reason for your answer.arrow_forward2.40 As we will see in later chapters, many steps in key reaction sequences involve acid-base reactions. (a) Draw curved arrows to Hlustrate the flow of electrons in steps [1]-[3]. (b) Identify the base and its conjugate acid in step [1]. (c) Identify the acid and its conjugate base in step [3]. нӧ: :ӧн нӧ: :ӧн :ÖH :0: + H30: + H2ö: HÖ. 3. HÖ HÖ.

- Please refer to the molecule shown below when answering questions: Based on relative trends in the periodic table, which function group is more basic, II orVIII?(i) Based on relative trends in the periodic table, which function group is more acidic, II orVII?(j) Because of ring strain, this functional group is likely to undergo ring-opening uponreaction with HCl.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_forwardFor the compound below please determine which of the two protons (a) or (b) is more acidic using the ARIO rule and explain your reasoning. Note: To answer the question correctly, please draw both Conjugate Base 1 and Conjugate Base 2. Determine which of the two protons is more acidic using the ARIO rule and explain your reasoning - if the reason is R (number of Resonance Structures) please draw all the resonance structures. Make sure you keep track of all formal charges and lone pairs.arrow_forward
