Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The products are to be stated for the given process. Each labeled atom is to be classified as Brønsted base, Brønsted acid, nucleophilic center, electrophilic center and leaving group.
Concept introduction:
Brønsted Lowry acid-base reactions are those reactions in which electron pair displacement takes place and electrophilic center is a proton. The species which accepts a proton is known as Brønsted base. On the other hand, the species which donates a proton is termed as Brønsted acid.
(b)

B)Why would you suggest soarrow_forwardI) The following reaction runs as written therefore... 1HClO2 +1NH3 ==>1ClO2- +1NH4+ (a)HClO2 is a weaker Bronsted base than NH4+(b)ClO2- is a stronger Bronsted base than NH3(c)HClO2 is a stronger Bronsted Acid than NH4+(d)None of those is correct.arrow_forward
- Answer ALL parts of this question. (a) Using resonance structures, discuss the following statement; phenols are much stronger acids than aliphatic alcohols. (b) Give the structure of a stronger organic acid than phenol. (c) Rationalise the acidity of the latter organic acid by drawing two resonance structures of the conjugate base. (d) Eugenol is a natural product derived from the dried flower buds of the evergreen tree, Eugenia aromatica. Briefly describe a procedure with reagents required to extract eugenol as a single component from the mixture of compounds present in these flower buds. OH LOCH 3 eugenolarrow_forward(a) Give chemical tests to distinguish between the following pairs of compounds :(i) Pentan-2-ol and Pentan-3-ol (ii) Methanol and Phenol(b) o-nitro phenol is more acidic than o-methoxy phenol. Explain why.arrow_forward(c) Arrange the following compounds in order of increasing acidity, and explain the reasons fo your choice of order: phenol, cyclohexanol, 2-fluorocyclohexanol, 2-fluoronhenolarrow_forward
