Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
- The stronger acid has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Effect of delocalized electrons on
Due to Inductive effect, an anion is stabilized by a nearby electronegative atom. In the same way, electron delocalization also effective on stabilization of anion.
Rule: The strength of an acid depends on the stability of its conjugate base.
(b)
Interpretation:
- The stronger base has to be predicted.

- Which compound is the stronger base? C, D, or they are not basesarrow_forwardA) Indicate the most acidic proton on each molecule. B) Rank in order from least to most which are most acidic C) Draw the enolate formed from the loss of the most acidic proton on the most acidic molecule, Only.arrow_forwardWhich is a stronger acid?arrow_forward
- A) for each compound show its conjugate base. lone pairs have been left out. B) rank the conjugate base in the order you would predict, from most to least stable. C) rank the original compounds in order, from strongest to weakest acid.arrow_forwardExplain why the reaction is SN1 and not SN2 PS: the OH shouldnt be on the phenyl.arrow_forward
