Question
**Title: Acid Dissociation Reactions and Comparing Acid Strengths**

### Acid Dissociation Reactions

For the molecules shown below, draw the acid dissociation reaction. If a conjugate base features resonance structures, ensure all valid resonance structures are depicted.

**Molecule A:**
- Structure: A ketone with one hydrogen atom adjacent to the carbonyl.
- Reaction: Write the dissociation with \( \text{H}^+ \) and the conjugate base.

**Molecule B:**
- Structure: A ketone with a trifluoromethyl (CF₃) group adjacent to the carbonyl.
- Reaction: Write the dissociation with \( \text{H}^+ \) and the conjugate base.

**Molecule C:**
- Structure: A ketone with no additional groups other than hydrogen adjacent to the carbonyl.
- Reaction: Write the dissociation with \( \text{H}^+ \) and the conjugate base.

### Acid Strength Comparison

Identify the stronger acid in each of the pairs below and provide an explanation for each comparison.

**A & B:**
- Compare the acidity between molecules A and B.

**B & C:**
- Compare the acidity between molecules B and C.

**A & C:**
- Compare the acidity between molecules A and C.

**Explanation Guidelines:**
- Consider the influence of differing substituents on acidity and resonance stability of conjugate bases.
- Discuss electron-withdrawing or electron-donating effects impacting acidity.
  
This exercise aims to deepen understanding of how molecular structure influences acidity and resonance stabilization.
