(a)
Interpretation: The most acidic hydrogen in the given molecule is to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The most acidic proton of a molecule is removed first by a base. In a simple molecule, the acidity of a particular proton depends on the atom to which that proton is attached.
In the periodic table, the acidity of
