Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason that corresponds to conjugate acid of Morpholine is more acidic than the conjugate acid of Piperidine should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

An acid dissociation constant is the measure of the strength of an acid in the solution. The logarithmic function of dissociation constant is pKa.

Less value of pKa more acidic is the compound.
