Chapter 19, Problem 19.44P

Explain the following statement. Although 2 - methoxy acetic acid ( CH 3 OCH 2 COOH ) is a stronger acid than acetic acid ( CH 3 COOH ) , p - methoxy benzoic acid ( CH 3 OC 6 H 4 COOH ) is a weaker acid than benzoic acid ( C 6 H 5 COOH ) .

Briefly, but clearly, explain why the –OH hydrogen in acetic acid (CH3CO2H) is more acidic than in ethanol (C2H5OH).
Consider the following reaction. N3- + H2O ↔ HN3 + OH− This reaction indicates that: A) N3- is a strong base B) N3- is a weak base C) N3- is a strong acid D) N3- is a weak acid
Why are carbonyl compounds considered weakly acidic? Would you expect carbonyl compounds to be more acidic than alkanes? Explain.
