Chapter 22.4, Problem 9P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structural formulas and the pKa values of the two isomeric conjugate acids of nicotine are to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

>

The pKa value of a compound helps to analyze the acidic strength of that compound. The stronger the acid, the lower its pKa value and vice-versa.An acidic substance in a reaction donates a proton, whereas base in a reaction accepts a proton.

>

The elimination of a proton from an acid leads to the formation of its conjugate base and the addition of a proton to a baseleads to the formation of its conjugate acid.
