Rank these compounds in or der of increasing acidity and discuss your rationale. Answ er: NH3 < H2 O < HF W hen determining relative acidity, it is often useful to look at the relative basicity of the conj ugate bases. The stronger the acid, the w eaker (mor e stable, less reactive) the conj ugate base. In this case, one w ould look at the relative basicity of F- , OH- , and NH2 - . The relative strengths of these species can be gauged based on the electronegativity of the charged atom in each base. Since fluor ine is the most electronegative, F- is the most stable, least reactive base in the group. This means that its conj ugate acid, HF, is the strongest. 15 75) MULTIPLE CHOICE.

Write the word or phrase that best completes each statement or answers the question. 77) Explain w hy :NF3 is a w eaker base than :NH3 . 77) Answ er: Fluor ine has an electron w ithdraw ing effect that reduces the availability of the pair of electrons on nitrogen. Thus the basicity of :NF3 is less than that of :NH3 . 78) W ould you predict trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, CF3 SO3 H, to b e a stronger or w eaker 78) acid than methanesulfonic acid, CH3 SO3 H? Explain your reasoning. Answ er: Trifluor omethanesulfonic acid is a stronger acid. Compare the strengths of the conj ugate bases and remember that the w eaker the base, the stronger the conj ugate acid. In the case of the trifluor o derivative, the presence of the highly electronegative fluor ine atoms serves to delocalize the negative charge to a greater extent. This additional delocalization makes trifluor omethanesulfonate a w eaker base. 79) W hich of the follow ing anions, CH3 CHBrCO2 - or CH3 CHFCO2 - is the stronger base? Explain y our choice. Answ er: CH3 CHBrCO2 - is the stronger base. The mor e electronegative F atom can mor e effectively delocalize the negative charge via induction. This greater delocalization stabilizes CH3 CHFCO2 - relative to CH3 CHBrCO2 - and makes it a w eaker base. 16 79) MULTIPLE CHOICE. Choose the one alternative that best completes the statement or answers the question. 80) The pKa of CH3 COOH is 4.8.
