Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To compare the acidities of water (H₂O) and ethanol (C₂H₅OH), we need to analyze the stability of the conjugate bases formed after the removal of a hydrogen ion (H⁺) from each compound. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Compounds**: We are comparing water (H₂O) and ethanol (C₂H₅OH). 2. **Remove a Hydrogen Ion (H⁺)**: - For water (H₂O), when we remove one H⁺, we get the hydroxide ion (OH⁻). ...
