Question

Chloroacetic acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid. Which is the best explanation? CH3COOH acetic acid ClCH2COOH chloroacetic acid ClCH2COO- chloroacetate ion CH3COO- acetate ion More resonance structures can be drawn for chloroacetic acid than for acetic acid. More resonance structures can be drawn for chloroacetate ion than for acetate ion. Because of its high electronegativity, chlorine is able to withdraw electrons from the chloroacetate ion by the inductive effect, thereby stabilizing this ion. Both b and c are correct explanations. Which projection represents the most stable conformation of 2,3-dimethylbutane? CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 CH3 H3C- CH3 H3C- CH3 CH3 CH3 b. 2 d. 4 CH3
