Question
Chapter 2.3, Problem 2.15E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The site of protonation of acetic acid should be accounted.
Concept introduction: The same molecule that shows characteristics of acid under some certain conditions can also behave as base under some different conditions. For instance, the acetic acid in presence of water loses its proton to water and form

Let's say we had an acid-base reaction of acetic acid and hydronium. What would the products be? Where would the positive charge be for the acetic acid's conjugate acid?
Why would the hydrogen add to the oxygen that is double bonded instead of the oxygen that is single bonded (on acetic acid)?
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.
Draw the phosphonium ylide that results when
a proton is removed by butyllithium. Be sure to
include charges and lone pairs
where applicable.
Draw the resonance structure of the
phosphonium ylide product. Hint:
phosphorus may have more than eight
valence electrons.

The structure contains a pair of pushable electrons, namely, the unshared electrons on the atom. The structure also contains a positively charged atom that can act as a . A second resonance structure can be generated by pushing the unshared electrons to the receptor. Thus, It is not possible to push electrons toward the other carbon, because it is not a receptor. If you tried to push electrons to this carbon, you would generate a pentavalent carbon, which is not possible.arrow_forwardFor each structure you drew in the answer to the previous question, classify it as a strong acid,strong base, weak acid, or weak base.arrow_forward

Explain your reasoning. HO. ethanol ethanoic acidarrow_forwardWhy is carbonyl group considered as an electron-withdrawing group? Because its carbon atom is partially positive, pulling electrons closer to it. Because oxygen atom is more electronegative than carbon atom, pulling the electrons closer to it and away from other atoms bonded to carbon. Only the 1st and the 2nd statements are acceptable. Because oxygen has extra lone pairs resulting to electron clouds surrounding it; thus, electrons are said to be withdrawn by the oxygen atom. None of the statements best describes its property.arrow_forward
