Chapter 2.12, Problem 2.19P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure of the conjugate acid of acetamide is to be drawn. An explanation corresponding to the fact that in acetamide protonation does not occur at nitrogen is to be explained. The pKa value of the conjugate acid is to be calculated.

Concept introduction: According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, when an acid donates a proton the species formed is known as conjugate base and when the base accepts a proton the species formed is known as conjugate acid. The conjugate base has negative charge or lone pair of electrons present over it.

The acidity and basicity of a compound is influenced by the resonance. The amount of stability depends on the delocalization of the charge through the resonance. The delocalization of electrons due to presence of lone pair and double bond is called resonating structure.

To determine: The structure of the conjugate acid of acetamide, pKa value of the conjugate acid and an explanation corresponding to the fact that in acetamide protonation does not occur at nitrogen.
