Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To understand how the two hydroxy organic compounds, ROH and R'OH, can exhibit different behaviors (basic and acidic), we need to analyze the structural differences between R and R'. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Functional Groups**: Both compounds contain a hydroxyl (-OH) group, which is the functional group responsible for their chemical behavior. 2. **Analyze ROH (Basic Compound)**: ...
