See explanation and image attached
Explanation:
This reaction is known as mercuric ion catalyzed hydration of alkynes.
The first step in the reaction is attack of the mercuric ion on the carbon-carbon triple bond, a bridged intermediate is formed. This bridged intermediate is attacked by water molecule to give an organomercury enol. This undergoes keto-enol tautomerism, proton transfer to the keto group yields an oxonium ion, loss of the mercuric ion now gives equilibrium keto and enol forms of the compound. The keto form is favoured over the enol form.
Answer:
c. Compound 2 is more acidic because its conjugate base is more resonance stabilized
Explanation:
You haven't told us what the compounds are, so let's assume that the formula of Compound 1 is HCOCH₂OH and that of Compound 2 is CH₃COOH.
The conjugate base of 2 is CH₃COO⁻. It has two important resonance contributors, and the negative charge is evenly distributed between the two oxygen atoms.
CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇌ CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺
The stabilization of the conjugate base pulls the position of equilibrium to the right, so the compound is more acidic than 1.
