a) Draw the conjugate base of the compound shown. Include all resonance structures. b) The pKa of phenol is 10. Does the compound shown have a pKa greater or less than 10? Fully explain your answer. (Hint: “It’s more acidic” or “it’s less acidic” is not a full explanation)
Place the following compounds in order of relative acidity. Consider 1 to be the most acidic and 6 to be the least acidic.
For the compound below please determine which of the two protons (a) or (b) is more acidic using the ARIO rule and explain your reasoning. Note: To answer the question correctly, please draw both Conjugate Base 1 and Conjugate Base 2. Determine which of the two protons is more acidic using the ARIO rule and explain your reasoning - if the reason is R (number of Resonance Structures) please draw all the resonance structures. Make sure you keep track of all formal charges and lone pairs.
The structure of ascorbic acid is shown below. Redraw the structure and circle the most acidic hydrogen. Briefly explain your selection.
Rank the indicated a-H’s from most to least acidic (most acidic= 1). Be sure to explain your rankings for each by drawing significant resonance structures for the conjugate base and commenting on any other factors that contribute to your rankings.
