- When the conjugate acid of aniline, C6H5NH3+, reacts with the acetate ion, the following reaction takes place: C6H5NH3+(aq)+CH3COO(aq)C6H5NH2(aq)+CH3COOH(aq) If Kafor C6H5NH3+ is 1.35105 and Kafor CH3COOH is 1.86105 , what is K for the reaction?arrow_forwardPQ-16.

Compare the most stable conjugate base of ascorbic acid with the conjugate base of acetic acid, and suggest why these two compounds have similar acidities, even though ascorbic acid lacks the carboxylic acid (COOH) group.arrow_forwardThe acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester converts an ester into a carboxylic acid. Although there are two O atoms that can be protonated, the first step in the mechanism is believed to be protonation of the oxygen in the C=0 group. Based on charge stability, why is it favorable to protonate that oxygen? Hint: Draw out the products of each protonation. + Hо HO, НО Carboxylic acid Ester Alcoholarrow_forward

(a) Show the fou r different conjugate bases that would be formed by deprotonation of the four different OH groups in ascorbic acid. (b) Compare the stabilities of these four conjugate bases, and predict which OH group of ascorbic acid is the most acidic. (c) Compare the most stable conjugate base of ascorbic acid with the conjugate base of acetic acid, and suggest why these two compounds have similar acidities, even though ascorbic acid lacks the carboxylic acid (COOH) group.arrow_forwardNepheliosyne B is a novel acetylenic fatty acid isolated from a New Caledonian marine sponge.

- Briefly, but clearly, explain why the –OH hydrogen in acetic acid (CH3CO2H) is more acidic than in ethanol (C2H5OH).arrow_forward78) Why are primary alcohols more acidic than tertiary alcohols, in general? Because tertiary alcohols have less acidic hydrogens. Because primary alcohols have less electron-donating groups which create more effective charge separation between oxygen and hydrogen atom, making it more acidic. Because primary alcohols are more polar than tertiary alcohols. Because primary alcohols have less electron-donating groups which decrease electron density on oxygen, making it more susceptible for H+ to depart from the structure.arrow_forwardDraw the products formed when propan-2-ol [(CH3)2CHOH], the main ingredient in rubbing alcohol, is treated with each acid or base: (a) NaH (b) H2SO4 (c) Li+−N[CH(CH3)2]2 (d) CH3CO2H.arrow_forward
