Chapter 2, Problem 2.11P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: The pKa value of the given indicated bond is to be estimated.

Concept introduction: The equilibrium constant of an acid dissociation reaction depends on the strength of an acid involved in the reaction. The Ka value is large for strong acids and small for weak acids. The stronger acid has a lower value of pKa and the weaker acid has a higher pKa value.
