X Incorrect. For given pair of compounds, identify which compound is the stronger base, and explain your choice: N- N- A B Bis the stronger base because the lone pair is not participating in aromatic resonance. Bis the stronger base because the lone pair is participating in aromatic resonance. Neither base is stronger because both lone pairs are equally delocalized by resonance. O A is the stronger base because the lone pair is not participating in aromatic resonance. O A is the stronger base because the lone pair is participating in aromatic resonance.

Question 7 bint) a) Listen Both acetic acid and phenol will react with aqueous NaOH to yield a salt, but only acetic acid will react with aqueous sodium bicarbonate, NaHCO3. This is because sodium hydroxide is too weak a base to react with both compounds. acetic acid is a weaker acid than phenol, and so reacts well with sodium bicarbonate, the weaker base. phenol is a weaker acid than acetic acid. sodium bicarbonate does not react well with compounds that have benzene rings.
