Look at the table in Figure 5-8. (There is only one correct answer for each blank) 

  • In Row 1 [a or b]  is the stronger acid because [ a) O is more electronegative than S or b) S is bigger than O] .
  • In Row 2 [a or b]  is the stronger acid because [a) because O is more electronegative than C or H, b)because the conjugate base is resonance stablalized or c) because of indction from the Cl] .
  • In Row 3 [a or b]  is the stronger acid because [a)because F is more elecronegative than Cl or b) because Cl is bigger than F].
  • In Row 4 [a or b]  is the stronger acid because [a) because the two chlorines are further apart delocalizing the indicative effect in the conjugate base or because the two chlorines are closer to the negative charge in the conjugate base]  .

Expert Solution
Step 1: Acidic strength:

More the stability of conjugate base, more stronger the acidic strength of acid is.

Electro withdrawing group stabilize the conjugate base. 

More the electron donating power, more stable the conjugate base.

More the number of electron withdrawing group near to the negative charge of conjugate base, more the stability.

Electron withdrawing power of halogen increases in this order: 

I < Br < Cl < I
