To determine which compound is more acidic among ethane, ethene, and ethyne, we need to analyze their structures and the stability of their conjugate bases. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Structures - **Ethane (C2H6)**: This is an alkane with the structure CH3-CH3. - **Ethene (C2H4)**: This is an alkene with the structure CH2=CH2. - **Ethyne (C2H2)**: This is an alkyne with the structure CH≡CH. ### Step 2: Form the Conjugate Bases ...
