Question
Chapter 5, Problem 8CTQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The reason that explains bicarbonate is not a strong base should be determined.
Concept introduction: Lewis structure is a representation of molecules in which dots are shown to represent unshared electrons and lines are shown to represent bonds. These lines and dots represent distribution of electrons in the molecule.
When one single structure is unable to describe all the properties of a single-molecule, a phenomenon called resonance comes into play. This arises when two or more than two Lewis structures are possible for one molecule. All such structures are called resonating structures and have same placement of atoms in them but these have different locations of bond pairs and lone pairs. The resonating structures are inter-convertible with each other. The resultant of all the resonating or contributing structures is called the resonance hybrid.

Actually, one of the hydrogens on the four OH groups is much more acidic than the other three ones. Which one is the acidic hydrogen? Hints: To find the answer, you will again have to draw some resonance structures of the product formed after loss of H+. Consider the product after the loss of H+ for each of the OH groups. Only two of the OH groups have resonance structures after deprotonation; one of these two groups has a much better resonance structure than the other one (again after deprotonation).
