- Write an equation for the acid-base reaction between 2,4-pentanedione and sodium ethoxide and calculate its equilibrium constant, Keq. The pKa of 2,4-pentanedione is 9; that of ethanol is 15.9.arrow_forwardWill acetylene react with sodium hydride according to the following equation to form a salt and hydrogen, H2? Using pKa values given in Table 4.1, calculate Keq for this equilibrium.arrow_forwardThe following pKa values have been measured. Explain why a hydroxyl group in the para position decreases the acidity while a hydroxyl group in the meta position increases the acidity.arrow_forward
- What is the effect of Pd/C and EtOH on this compound?arrow_forwardOne reagent used ? Q2arrow_forwardBenzoic acid and water were added to the test tube labeled "b.a." After stirring the mixture, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) vas added until the solid disappeared. Finally, hydrochloric acid was added drop by drop until blue litmus paper turned red. The solid present in the test tube after the addition of HCI is most likely: benzoic acid benzyl acetate O benzyl chloride sodium benzoatearrow_forward
