R represents the rest of the compound (generally carbon and hydrogen atoms). However, when R is a cyano group, the pKa is found to be drastically lower: H H Incorrect. 人 R N H PK = 35-45 N N H PK = = 17 (a) Explain why the presence of the cyano group so drastically impacts the pKa. ○ When R is a cyano group, the acidic proton is on an sp-hybridized atom. ○ When R is a cyano group, the conjugate base is destabilized by resonance. ○ When R is a cyano group, the conjugate base is destabilized by inductive effects. ● When R is a cyano group, the conjugate base is stabilized by resonance.arrow_forward
