Question
Chapter 12.22, Problem 31P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The
of the conjugate acid of pyrrole is to be estimated. Whether the conjugate acid of pyridine and conjugate acid of pyrrole, strong or weak is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
According to Brønsted theory, the stronger the base, weaker is its conjugate acid and vice versa.
Stronger the acid, lower the
value.
