Interpretation:
It is to be determined whether the given solvent is suitable for a reaction involving
Concept introduction:
Leveling effects refers to the effect of a solvent on the behavior of acids and bases. If the reactant is a very strong acid or base, it can react with the solvent in an undesired proton transfer reaction. At equilibrium, the strongest acid that can occur in solution is the protonated solvent, and the strongest base that can occur in solution is the deprotonated solvent. For the leveling effect, a solvent is unsuitable for a particular reactant if the reactant (lower
