(a)
Interpretation:
Based on the understanding of charge stability, it is to be determined which of the following compounds is expected to have the most similar pKa value to that of formaldehyde.
Concept introduction:
Table 6-1 refers to various compounds and their Ka and pKa values. Based on the structural similarities in compounds listed in Table 6-1 and their
(b)
Interpretation:
The pKa value for formaldehyde is to be estimated based on the concept of charge stability and the reference to Table 6.1.
Concept introduction:
pKa value represents the strength of an acid. The lower the value, the stronger the acid. Structural similarity in conjugate bases of two compounds indicates that the pKa values for the two compounds must be in the similar range. The chemical behavior of a compound is governed by the functional group it possesses.

- Don't used hand raiting and don't used Ai solutionarrow_forwardWe learned four factors (ARIO) for comparing the relative acidity of compounds. When two of these factors are in competition, the order of priority is the order in which these factors were covered ("atom" being the most important factor and "orbital" being the least important). However, we also mentioned that there are exceptions to this order of priority. Compare the two compounds and identify the exception. OH PK-4.75 SH PK-10.6 5. "Resonance" is more important than "atom" because the conjugate base of first compound is more stable than the second. "Atom" is more important than "resonance" because the conjugate base of first compound is more stable than the second. "Resonance" is more important than "atom" because the conjugate base of second compound is more stable than the first. "Atom" is more important than "resonance" because the conjugate base of second compound is more stable than the first.arrow_forwardThe relative fitnesses of three genotypes are WA/A= 1.0, WA/a = 0.7, and Wa/a = 0.3.
