Explain why the C―Ha bond is much more acidic than the C―Hb bond in pentan-2-one. Select the single best answer. 253 Ha is less

acidic than Hb because loss of Hb forms a resonance-stabilized conjugate base. Ha is more acidic than Hb because loss of Ha forms a resonance-stabilized conjugate base. Ha is more acidic than Hb because loss of Hb forms a resonance-stabilized conjugate base. Ha is less acidic than Hb because loss of Ha forms a resonance-stabilized conjugate base.

Answer:

Ha is more acidic than Hb because loss of Ha forms a resonance-stabilized conjugate base.

Explanation:

The carbon atom that is next to the carbonyl group in pentan-2-one is known as the alpha carbon atom, this carbon atom bears the Ha, the alpha hydrogen atoms.

Ha is more acidic than Hb because, loss of Ha leads to the formation of a resonance stabilized enolate ion. This resonance stabilization of the ion formed makes loss of Ha an easier process than loss of Hb, hence the answer above.

Masja [62]
At the point when a response achieves a condition of concoction balance under a specific arrangement of conditions, no further changes in the groupings of reactants and items happen. On the off chance that a change is made in the conditions under which the framework is at harmony, substance change will happen so as to build up another balance. The components that can impact harmony are an adjustment in focus, change in weight (or volume), and change in temperature.
