Chapter 19.2, Problem 3P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason that corresponds to conjugate acid of Morpholine is more acidic than the conjugate acid of Piperidine should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

An acid dissociation constant is the measure of the strength of an acid in the solution. The logarithmic function of dissociation constant is ${\text{pK}}_{\text{a}}$.

Less value of ${\text{pK}}_{\text{a}}$ more acidic is the compound.
