Chapter 4, Problem 39CTQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: Whether conjugate acid with low pKa value will donate H+ ions more easily than that with high pKa value is consistent with fact that below acids have pKa close to zero or not should be determined.

  Organic Chemistry: A Guided Inquiry, Chapter 4, Problem 39CTQ

Concept introduction: According to the Bronsted-Lowry concept, the substance that donates proton is termed as acid while that accepts or gains protons is called a base. Species formed after loss of protons from acids are known as their respective conjugate bases whereas conjugate acid is produced by the addition of protons to base. The strength of an acid is determined by its pKa value while that of the base is governed by its pKb value.

According to Lewis's concept, the substance that donates electron pair is termed as a base while that accepts or gains electron pair is called acid. For example, BF3 is an electron-deficient compound and can easily accept electrons so it is Lewis acid. But NH3 has lone pair of electrons that it can donate easily so it acts as Lewis base.

According to the Arrhenius concept, substances that donate hydrogen ions in solutions are known as acids while bases are substances that release hydroxide ions in solutions.
