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.

a) If the Kb of a weak base is 4.7E-9, what is the Ka of its conjugate acid? Do not include any units with your answer. Your answer should have two significant figures. For scientific notation use the same as that in the problem (i.e. 3.3E-2 is the same as 3.3 x 10-2). b) Diethylamine, (CH3CH2)2NH, has a Kb of 8.6 x 10-4. What is the pH of a 0.22 M solution of diethylammonium chloride, [(CH3CH2)2NH2]Cl? Your answer should be to two places past the decimal point.

Why is HCl so acidic? For example, why is H-Cl more acidic than H-S-CH3? Isn't the conjugate base's negative charge more stabilized with a sulfur and extra methyl group (by the induction effect)? While Cl is more electronegative than Sulfur, I would assume Cl being alone as its own ion would make it less stable.
