Question
Chapter 17, Problem 20P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The factors that account for the greater acidity of amides in comparison to
Concept introduction:
The strength of acid of acyl group depends on delocalization of negative charge by electron withdrawing effect. More is the delocalization of charge in the conjugate base, more stable is the anion and thus, stronger is the acid.

- Rank the Acidity of the following sets of compounds. Give an explanation for the answers.arrow_forward(a) Rank the following compounds in order of increasing acidity. (b) Which compound forms the strongest conjugate base?arrow_forwardAcid-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.arrow_forward
- Low-molecular-weight dicarboxylic acids normally exhibit two different pKa values. Ionization of the first carboxyl group is easier than the second. This effect diminishes with molecular size, and for adipic acid and longer chain dicarboxylic acids, the two acid ionization constants differ by about one pK unit. Why do the two pKa values differ more for the shorter chain dicarboxylic acids than for the longer chain dicarboxylic acids?arrow_forward18-48 4-Aminobenzoic acid is prepared from benzoic acid by the following two steps. Show reagents and experimental conditions to bring about each step.arrow_forwardUsing molecular structures, what will happen in the following situations: 1) Benzoic acid is dissolved in diethyl ether and then 1 M HCl (aq) is added: 2) Ethyl 4-aminobenzoate is dissolved in dichloromethane and then 1 M NaOH (aq) is addedarrow_forward
- The antimalaria properties of quinine (C20H24N202) saved thousands of lives during construction of the Panama Canal. This substance is a classic example of the medicinal wealth that tropical forests hold. Both N atoms are basic, and the N of the amine group is far more basic (pKb=4.94) than the N within the aromatic ring system (pKb=10.54). A saturated solution of quinine in water is only 4.55x10-3M. What is the pH of this solution? Record your answer with 2 decimals.arrow_forwardArrange the following molecules in increasing order of acidity. Base it only on their structural differences and explain how it is so.arrow_forwardExplain why CH3 CH2 CH2NH2 is a Brønsted base. Its water solutions are basic. All substances containing nitrogen atoms are Brønsted bases. This amine is a proton donor. This amine can ассеpt a proton from a proton donor.arrow_forward
