  • What factors should you consider when determining which molecule has the most acidic hydrogen atoms?
    Consider the stability of the conjugate base, including element effects (electronegativity and atomic size), inductive effects, resonance effects, hybridization, and steric effects.
  • How can you determine which carboxylic acid is the most acidic without pKa values?
    Compare the stability of the conjugate bases using factors such as resonance, inductive effects from substituents, and the presence of electron-withdrawing groups near the carboxyl group.
  • How do you identify the most acidic proton in a compound?
    Identify the hydrogen whose removal leads to the most stable conjugate base, considering resonance, inductive effects, and the atom to which the hydrogen is attached.
  • How do you determine which substituent has the highest priority when ranking acidity?
    The substituent that most stabilizes the conjugate base, typically through strong electron-withdrawing inductive or resonance effects, has the highest priority in increasing acidity.
  • How do you determine which highlighted hydrogen atom in a molecule is the most acidic?
    The most acidic hydrogen is the one whose removal results in the most stabilized conjugate base, often due to resonance, inductive effects, or attachment to a more electronegative or larger atom.
