Question
Chapter 17, Problem 2PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The stronger acid among the given pairs is to be identified.
Concept introduction:
The strength of an acid depends on delocalization of negative charge by electron withdrawing effect, that is, more the delocalization of charge in the conjugate base, more stable is the anion, and thus, stronger the acid becomes.
