Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Which spectroscopic method could be used to distinguish among the three isomeric acids, pentanoic acid, 3-methylbutanoic acid and 2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid, is to be stated. The characteristics features expected for each acid in the spectrum are also to be stated.
Concept introduction:
1H NMR can be used to distinguish these isomers. By observing the signals due to the methyl group(s) present (the number of protons giving that signal and its spin multiplicity) in these three compounds they can be distinguished.
To state:
Which spectroscopic method could be used to distinguish among the three isomeric acids, pentanoic acid, 3-methylbutanoic acid and 2,2-dimethylpropanoic acid, is to be stated. The characteristics features expected for each acid in the spectrum.

- 2. Give the pK₂ values for the following compounds and then rank them in terms of increasing acidity. Explain why the values change so dramatically (each pKa unit is an order of magnitude) from one member of the series to the next. NH3 HF CH4 H₂Oarrow_forwardAmines are weak bases. Table 10.2 in the course textbook provides a list of pKb values for several amines. The pK values for three amines and their structures are shown below. Explain why increased substitution on nitrogen results in an increase of the pKb value.
