(a)
Interpretation: The most acidic hydrogen in the compound esmolol is to be labeled.
Concept introduction: The most acidic hydrogen
Answer to Problem 2.69P
The labeling of the most acidic hydrogen present in the compound esmolol is shown below.
Explanation of Solution
The most acidic hydrogen in the compound esmolol is shown as,
Figure 1
According to the structure of esmolol, there are three elements present in the compound to which protons are bonded. The acidity increases while moving left to right in the period due to an increase in the electronegativity of the elements. Thus, oxygen atom is located at the extreme right position in the periodic table and is highly electronegative than carbon and nitrogen. Thus, the proton that is attached to oxygen atom is the most acidic one as shown above.
The labeling of the most acidic hydrogen present in the compound esmolol is shown in Figure 1.

(b)
Interpretation: The products formed by the reaction of esmolol with
Concept introduction: An atom or a group of atoms that shows characteristic physical and chemical properties are collectively known as functional groups. The functional group is the most reactive part present in the molecule. The main functional groups are
According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, the species that easily accept the proton is known as base and the species that easily donate the proton is known as acid. The reaction of an acid with a base always leads to the formation of conjugate acid and base.
