`(a) CH (CN)_(3)" " (b)CH(NO_(2))_(3)`
`(c) CHCl_(3)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To compare the acidic strength of the compounds `(a) CH(CN)₃`, `(b) CH(NO₂)₃`, and `(c) CHCl₃`, we will analyze the stability of their conjugate bases formed after the release of a proton (H⁺). The stability of the conjugate base is influenced by the presence of electron-withdrawing or electron-donating groups attached to the carbon atom. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds and Their Functional Groups**: - **(a) CH(CN)₃**: Contains a cyano group (CN), which is an electron-withdrawing group. - **(b) CH(NO₂)₃**: Contains nitro groups (NO₂), which are strong electron-withdrawing groups. - **(c) CHCl₃**: Contains chloro groups (Cl), which are also electron-withdrawing but less effective than NO₂ and CN. ...
