Its the other way around actually. Benzoic acid is stronger than acetic acid because the electron-donating inductive effect (+I) by the alkyl group on acetic acid destabilise the conjugate base of acetic acid.

hope this helps :)

Draw the product of nucleophilic substitution with each neutral nucleophile. When the initial substitution product can lose a pr

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Neutral nucleophile are: H2O, CH3OH, NH3, RNH2, R2NH, R3N, RCOOH, RSH and PR3. The products by nucleophilic substitution are diverse depending on the different nucleophiles, obtaining alcohol, eter, amines, ester and tioeter considering only the nucleophiles with a hydrogen available.

Explanation:

Please see the images attached.

Nucleophilic subtitution with water occurs under Sn1 mechanism. That's it because water as nucleophile is so weak. With the other neutral nucleophiles, the reaction occur under Sn2 mechanism.

RSH + CH3I -----> RSCH3 + HI
