Question
Chapter 4, Problem 4.46AP
(a)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The bond angles in tert-butyl cation has to be predicted.
(b)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The hybridization of carbon bearing the positive charge has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Hybridization:
Hybridization is defined as intermixing of atomic or molecular orbital. The valance orbitals of an atom is allowed to combine with valence orbital of another orbital. The resulting orbitals forms a bond and these orbitals are known as hybridized orbital.
(c)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A balanced chemical equation between tert-butyl cation and water as Lewis acid with water has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Balanced Chemical equation:
A balanced chemical equation is an equation which contains same elements in same number on both the sides (reactant and product side) of the chemical equation thereby obeying the law of conservation of mass.
(d)
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A balanced chemical equation between tert-butyl cation and water as Bronsted-Lowary acid with water has to be given.

Write the basic equilibrium equation for (CH₃)₂NH and C₆H₅O⁻.
Salicylic acid, HOC6H4CO2H, and its derivatives have been used as pain relievers for a long time. Salicylic acid occurs in small amounts in the leaves, bark, and roots of some vegetation (most notably historically in the bark of the willow tree). Extracts of these plants have been used as medications for centuries. The acid was first isolated in the laboratory in 1838.
(a) Both functional groups of salicylic acid ionize in water, with Ka = 1.0 ×× 10−3 for the—CO2H group and 4.2 ×× 10−13 for the −OH group. What is the pH of a saturated solution of the acid (solubility = 1.8 g/L).
(b) Aspirin was discovered as a result of efforts to produce a derivative of salicylic acid that would not be irritating to the stomach lining. Aspirin is acetylsalicylic acid, CH3CO2C6H4CO2H. The −CO2H functional group is still present, but its acidity is reduced, Ka = 3.0 ×× 10−4. What is the pH of a solution of aspirin with the same concentration as a saturated solution of salicylic acid (See Part a).
Which chemical group is most likely to be responsible for an organic molecule behaving as a base (see Concept 3.3)? (A) hydroxyl (B) carbonyl (C) amino (D) phosphate
