Draw the product formed when the Lewis Acid (CH3CH2)3C+ reacts with the Lewis Base H2O
Why are carboxylic acids more acidic than alcohols? The increased inductive effect of the alkyl group of the carboxylic acid resonance stabilization of the carboxylate ion (conjugate base of carboxylic acids) Due to hydrogen bonding They have high pKa values
