Question

6. As the pKa of a proton donor (acid) increases (becomes numerically larger), the nucleophilicity
of its conjugate base:

Expert Solution

Step 1

1) High pKa value means weak acid,

low pKa value means strong acid.

2) Strong acid have weak conjugate base

and Weak acid have strong conjugate base.

And a conjugate base is always a stronger nucleophile.

Step by step
