Consider the three organic compounds shown, and then select the options that currently describe how you would evaluate their relative acidity. A B Choose one or more: Compound A is the least stable acid because of the CH3 group. Compounds B and C have similar stability because they both contain N. The conjugate base of A is resonance-stabilized. Compound B is the least stable acid because of the charge on N. The conjugate base of A is stabilized by induction. The conjugate base of C is stabilized by induction.

Consider cyclohexane and benzene (draw the structures below). Draw the conjugate base of each molecule and then explain why cyclohexane is the weaker acid.
Rank the following compounds in terms of increasing acidity (least acidic first). Explain your ranking. Making sure to say which hydrogen in each molecule is the most acidic, and discuss the relative stability of the conjugate bases.
Why is HCl so acidic? For example, why is H-Cl more acidic than H-S-CH3? Isn't the conjugate base's negative charge more stabilized with a sulfur and extra methyl group (by the induction effect)? While Cl is more electronegative than Sulfur, I would assume Cl being alone as its own ion would make it less stable.

The following two compounds are constitutional isomers. Identify which of these is expected to be more acidic, and explain your choice. OH مل H₂C OH A is the stronger acid because the negative charge in the conjugate base is adjacent to an electron-withdrawing group, making it the LESS stable conjugate base. O A is the stronger acid because the negative charge in the conjugate base is adjacent to an electron-withdrawing group, making it the MORE stable conjugate base. O B is the stronger acid because the negative charge in stable conjugate base. the conjugate base is delocalized by resonance, making it the MORE B is the stronger acid because the negative charge in the conjugate base is delocalized by resonance, making it the LESS stable conjugate base.
