Determine the Keq of the given acid-base reaction, and tell if the base used is good enough to remove a proton from acetylene to produce acetylide anion.
Keq = 1025
-CH3 is good enough to remove a proton from acetylene to produce acetylide anion.
Keq = 10-25
-CH3 is not good enough to remove a proton from acetylene to produce acetylide anion.
Keq = 1039
Keq = 100
The strength of -CH3 does not matter in removing a proton from acetylene to produce an acetylide anion.
