Chapter 3, Problem 47PP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Most acidic compound has to be found from the given set of compounds.

Concept introduction:

Acidic strength in the molecule depends on the stability of the Conjugate anion.

  • If the conjugate anion is more resonance stabilized, the acid considered as strong acid and the anion is weak base.
  • If more sterically hindered the group, basic nature is more which means bulkiness increases the basic strength of the molecule. 

To find: The most acidic compound from the given set of compounds.
