`Me_(3)C CH_(2)COOH` is more acidic than `Me_(3)SiCH_(2)COOH`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine why Me₃CCH₂COOH is more acidic than Me₃SiCH₂COOH, we need to analyze the stability of the anions formed when these acids lose a proton (H⁺). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structures**: - Me₃CCH₂COOH: This compound has a tertiary carbon (C) with three methyl groups (Me) attached to it, followed by a CH₂ group and a carboxylic acid (COOH) group. - Me₃SiCH₂COOH: This compound has a silicon (Si) atom instead of carbon, with three methyl groups and a CH₂ group followed by a carboxylic acid (COOH) group. ...
