Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 43P
The compound at right has (for obvious reasons) been given the trivial name squaric acid. Squaric acid is a diprotic acid, with both protons being more acidic than acetic acid. In the dianion obtained after the loss of both protons, all of the carbon–carbon bonds are the same length as well as all of the carbon-oxygen bonds. Provide a resonance explanation for these observations.

Like nitrogen and carbon, oxygen also shows this same hybridization effect on acidity. Both of the following compounds can lose a proton from a positively charged oxygen with three bonds to give a conjugate base containing neutral oxygen with two bonds. One of these structures has pKa = -2.4, while the other has pKa = -8.0. Show the reaction of each compound with water.
Why is it not possible to predict whether H3PO4 or H2SO3 is the stronger acid? Show how you can use data to decide which is the stronger acid.
Compare with explanation the acidity of the following pairs of compounds.
(Note: You must draw the appropriate resonance structures to support your
answers.)
