Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The given compounds have same conjugate base structures is to be shown.
Concept introduction:
Brønsted acids are those species which donate a proton. Acid loses a proton and forms conjugate base. The acidity of the compound depends upon the stability of its conjugate base. The more stable the conjugate base, the more acidic is the compound.
(b)
Interpretation:
Among the given compound, the more acidic compound with an energy diagram arguments is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
