AI Generated Solution

To determine which compound is more acidic between CHF₃ (trifluoromethane) and CHCl₃ (trichloromethane), we will analyze the stability of their conjugate bases. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Conjugate Bases - For CHF₃, the conjugate base is formed by removing a proton (H⁺) from CHF₃: \[ \text{CHF}_3 \rightarrow \text{CHF}_3^- + \text{H}^+ \] - For CHCl₃, the conjugate base is formed similarly: ...
