(a) 2-methyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione is more acidic than cyclohexane - explain with reason
(b) Explain why HCN will add to the double bond in `CH_(2)=CHCOOH` but not in RCH=CHR

H_2S is more acidic than H_2O . The reason is

Why is H_2S more acidic than H_2O ?

Explain why p-nitrophenol is more acidic than phenol ?

Bond angle in NH_(3) is more than in PH_(3). Explain.

Explain why MeNH_(2) is stronger base than MeOH ?

Explain why is ortho-nitrophenol more acidic than ortho-methoxyphenol ?

(a) Why phenol is more acidic than than ethanol ? (b) Write the mechanism of acid dhydration of ethanol to tield ether: 2CH_(3)CH_(2)OHunderset(413K)overset(H^(+))toCH_(3)CH_(2)OCH_(2)CH_(3)

CH_(3)COO^(-) (acetate ion) is more stable than C_(2)H_(5)O^(-) (ethoxide ion). Explain.

Explain the CH_3 NH_2 acts as a nucleophile.

Statement- 1 Phenols are more acidic than carboxylic acid Statement -2 Acidity depends on reasonance stabilisation of the conjugate base formed
