Lesson 3: Putting it all Together: how to do the problems
Question 3
Which side does the equilibrium favor?:
Think which side has the most stable species
Post-Video Questions
Question 1
Identify the most acidic proton in each of the following structures:
Draw all possible conjugate bases and idetify the most stable one. The most stable conjugate base corresponds to the most acidic proton
Question 2
Which compound is more acidic:
A) Draw out conjugate bases. Think about how atomic radius affects anion stability
B) Draw out all possible conjugate bases for each compound. Think how hybridization affects anion stability
C) Draw out conjugate bases. Think how inductive effect affects anion stability. Electron withdrawing groups stablize the anion, electron donating groups destabilize the anion.
