The phenolic indicator (In-OH)has approximately the same pKa as a carboxylic acid. Which H is the most acidic proton in In-OH? C

ircle or otherwise indicate the most acidic proton. Explain why that H is the most acidic proton in In-OH(i.e. what makes its conjugate base well-stabilized)?

The –OH+ group is most acidic proton in ln-OH as shown in figure (a). The proton is circled in the figure.

The stabilisation of the conjugate base produced is stabilises due to resonance factor. The possible resonance structures are shown in figure (b).

The acidity of a protonated molecule depends upon the stabilisation of the conjugate base produced upon deprotonation. The conjugate base of ln-OH is shown in figure (a).  

The possible resonance structures are shown in figure (b). As the number of resonance structures of the conjugate base increases the stabilisation increases. Here the unstable quinoid (unstable) form get benzenoid (highly stable) form due to the resonance which make the conjugate base highly stabilise.

Thus the most acidic proton is assigned in ln-OH and the stability of the conjugate base is explained.

Answer:

be able to meet long term timber needs.

Explanation:

Forest Services has been indicated for a long time the exhaustion of timer in the United States. However, in the recent decade, this trend has shown a reverse. The creation of nuclear energy and other technological developments that bring about drastic changes in our way of life. Gradually, the forest has recovered its trees and plants, and it is anticipated that timber will be available to meet long-term wood needs.

In which of the following substances do you find strong hydrogen bonding?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

The strength of an individual H bond depends on the polarity of the H-X bond and therefore on the electronegativity of X ( the more delta positive the H atom, the stronger the electrostatic force of attraction between it and a lone pair of electrons). Thus, on a per bond basis, HF H bonding is strongest. However, as water has two H atoms, each molecule can form two H bonds so on a per molecule basis, water H bonding is strongest (this is evidenced by the boiling points of the three substances; NH3 < HF < H2O.)
