- Calculate the Ka's for the following acids: (a) Citric acid, pKa = 3.14 (b) Tartaric acid, pKa = 2.98arrow_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_forwardPredict the stronger acid in each pair: (a) HNO3 or HNO2;(b) H2S or H2O; (c) H2SO4 or H2SeO4; (d) CH3COOH or CCl3COOH.arrow_forward
