a)
Interpretation:
As a base how much strong Grignard reagent is to be stated. Further based on the pKa values of
Concept introduction:
Stronger acids have low pKa values. A strong acid will yield a weak conjugate base. Similarly Weak acids will give strong conjugate bases. A strong base will readily remove a proton from a weak acid.
To state:
How much strong Grignard reagent is and to predict based on the pKa values of alkanes and alkynes whether the reaction shown will occur as written.
