Question
Chapter 8.10, Problem 23P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
- The strong acid has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
Electronic effect:
Electron donating groups decreases acidity by inductive effect (withdrawal of electrons through a sigma bond). Electron withdrawal increases acidity. Electron-donating substituents destabilize a base, and decrease the strength of its conjugate acid; electron-withdrawing substituents stabilize a base, which increase the strength of its conjugate base.
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.
