Chapter 1 Problem 16P

Question

Solved Problem 1-5(c) showed protonation of the double-bonded oxygen in acetic acid. Show the product of protonation on the other \((-O H)\) oxygen. Explain why protonation of the double-bonded oxygen is favored.

Solution

Solution 16P :

Step 1:

Given Problem 1-5(c) protonation :

Protonation is the addition of proton (H+) to an atom or molecule or ion and thus forms, conjugate acid.

        Example :

1. Formation of Ammonia ion(NH4+) from the protonation of ammonia (NH3).

2. the protonation of water by sulfuric acid:

H2SO4 + H2O ⇌ H3O+ + HSO4-
