Textbook Question

Chapter 20, Problem 20.46SP

Predict the major form of each compound when it is dissolved in pure water. To do this, you will need to estimate pK_a values for the compounds in (a), (b), and (c) based on similar compounds shown in Appendix 4. Values for the compound in (d) are given. Explain the differences, including why the pK_a values in part (d) are so different from the others.
