- Acid-Base Equilibria Many factors contribute to the acidity of organic compounds. Electronegativity, resonance, induction, hybridization, aromaticity, and atomic size, all play a role. In the following comparisons, you are asked to identify the factor(s) that would be most important to analyze when predicting relative acidity, and then to predict the trend in acidity and pKa values. For each of the following pairs of compounds answer the following two multiple-choice questions. 1. What factor(s) are the most important to consider when predicting the relative acidity of the two compounds? a. Electronegativity of the atom possessing the hydrogen. b. Resonance stabilization of the anionic conjugate base. c. Inductive stabilization of the anionic conjugate base. d. Hybridization of the atom possessing the hydrogen. e. The atomic size of the atom possessing the hydrogen.arrow_forwardConsider the following chemical reaction: HCO3 + HCI Which one of products is a conjugate base? O HCO3 OHCI O H₂CO3 O cr = H₂CO3 + CI.arrow_forwardDraw an energy diagram for the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base reaction of CH3CO2H with −OC(CH3)3 to form CH3CO2− and (CH3)3COH. Label the axes, starting materials, products, ΔH°, and Ea. Draw the structure of the transition state.arrow_forward
- Draw the skeletal structure of the product(s) for the Lewis acid-base reaction.arrow_forwardThe Brønsted-Lowry definition of acids and bases is: Acids are proton donors, bases are proton acceptors Acids are nucleophiles and bases are electrophiles Acids are proton acceptors, bases are proton donors Carboxy groups are acids and amine groups are bases Carboxy groups are electrophiles and amine groups are nucelophilesarrow_forwardWhich is the stronger base between NH3 and H2O ,is low pka =strong base?arrow_forward
