Chapter 23.9, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: Among the given pair of compounds, the more basic compound is to be determined.

Concept introduction: An equilibrium constant (Ka ) is used to measure the acidity of an acid. There is an inverse relationship between the acidity of an acid and its pKa value. Higher the value of pKa, weaker is the acid.
