- Atenolol is a β (beta) blocker, a drug used to treat high blood pressure. Which of the indicated N—H bonds is more acidic? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardWhich member of each pair is the stronger base? a. ethylamine or aniline b. ethylamine or ethoxide ion c. phenolate ion or ethoxide ion d. phenolate ion or acetate ionarrow_forward4-Methylphenol is more acidic than ethanol (pKa 10.36 vs 16.0) , even though both contain an OH group and a methyl group. Draw the structures of the anions formed from loss of the alcoholic protons from both compounds. Use resonance to explain the difference in their respective acidities.arrow_forward

A. 2-bromopropanoic acid>propanoic acid>propanol B. propanoic acid> propanol>2-bromopropanoic acid C. 2,2,2-trifluoroethanoic acid >2-bromopropanoic acid>propanol D. propanol>propanoic acid>2-bromopropanoic acid -CN Abo OH NH₂arrow_forward7. Draw the conjugate base for each. CH;CH2OH → CH:CH;CH3 → CH:CH2NH2 – CH:CH2SH –arrow_forward
- НО. meta-Hydroxyacetophenone HO para-Hydroxyacetophenone The conjugate base of the para isomer has a negative charge that is delocalized over atom(s), and the conjugate base of the meta isomer has a negative charge that is delocalized over oxygen atom(s). Therefore, the conjugate base of the meta isomer is carbon atom(s) and isomer, making meta-hydroxyacetophenone oxygen carbon atom(s) and stable than then conjugate base of the para ✓acidic than para-hydroxyacetophenone.arrow_forwardRank the nitrogen atoms in each compound in order of increasing basicity. Isoniazid is a drug used to treat tuberculosis, whereas histamine (Section 25.6B) causes the runny nose and watery eyes associated with allergies. NH2 NHNH2 b. а. isoniazid histaminearrow_forwardPhenol has a pka = 10.0. 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde has a pka = 7.3. Draw resonance forms of the conjugate base of both and explain why 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde is more acidic. (Acidic H is underlined.) OH phenol OH -H* - H* 4-hyroxybenzaldehydearrow_forward
