Question

For each of the following molecules, determine if it is more or less acidic than ethanol. Then, briefly explain why. Stating pKa values is not an acceptable explanation - please use the trends.

### Organic Chemistry - Acidic Compounds

**Task: Compare the acidity of the following compounds.**

**Identify:**
- Which compound is more or less acidic and explain why.

**Compounds:**

a. **CF₃CH₂OH**

b. **CH₃CH₂SH**

c. **CH₃CH₂NH₂**

d. **Phenol (C₆H₅OH)**

e. **CH₃CH₂CH₃**

**Explanation:**

- **How to determine acidity:** The acidity of a compound is influenced by factors like resonance, inductive effects, and the stability of the conjugate base.

- **Considerations:**
- **Inductive Effect:** Electronegative atoms, such as fluorine, can increase acidity due to their electron-withdrawing nature.
- **Resonance:** Compounds like phenol benefit from resonance stabilization of their conjugate base, increasing acidity.
- **Functional Groups:** The presence of -OH, -SH, -NH₂ affects acidity as well.

Note: The benzene ring with an -OH group in compound "d" is indicative of phenol.

By analyzing these factors, one can rank the acidity of each compound.
