Acid-Base Equilibria Many factors contribute to the acidity of organic compounds. Electronegativity, resonance, induction, hybridization, aromaticity, and atomic size, all play a role. In the following comparisons, you are asked to identify the factor(s) that would be most important to analyze when predicting relative acidity, and then to predict the trend in acidity and pKa values. For each of the following pairs of compounds answer the following two multiple-choice questions. 1. What factor(s) are the most important to consider when predicting the relative acidity of the two compounds? a. Electronegativity of the atom possessing the hydrogen. b. Resonance stabilization of the anionic conjugate base. c. Inductive stabilization of the anionic conjugate base. d. Hybridization of the atom possessing the hydrogen. e. The atomic size of the atom possessing the hydrogen.
One structure for the conjugate acid of acetone is The electrons in the carbon–oxygen double bond are pushable electrons, and the atom is a receptor.
Answer true or false to the following statements about the mechanism of acid-base reactions. (a) The acid and base must encounter each other by a collision in order for the proton to transfer. (b) All collisions between acids and bases result in proton transfer. (c) During an acid-base reaction the lone pair on the base fills the A-H antibonding sigma orbital.
Relative Strengths of oxyacids and Amines Part A Relative oxyacid strength The strength of an acid is affected by the polarity of the bond connected to the acidic hydrogen. The more highly polarized this bond, the more easily the hydrogen is ionized. Electronegative atoms or groups of atoms present in the structure of an acid can act to withdraw electrons and produce additional polarization. Two common groups of acids to which this principle can be applied are oxyacids and carboxylic acids. Arrange the following oxyacids in order of decreasing acid strength. Rank from strongest to weakest acid. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. View Available Hint(s) Strongest acid The correct ranking cannot determined.
