QUESTION:
Which is a stronger base?
ANSWER:
Solution:
Here we will have to find out the stronger base.
Base:- In a chemical reaction an atom which can accept proton is called base. A strong base is a base that breaks apart 100% in solution.
Explanation:
Basicity of a molecule can be determine from its structure . Higher electron density within the molecule means that it is more likely to share electrons with another molecule stronger basicity Lower electron density within a molecule means that it is less likely to share electrons with another molecule, weaker basicity
Step 1
Here Br is less electronegative than F, so the Br-substituted acetate ion is weaker acid than that of F-substituted acetate ion . The weaker acid has a stronger conjugate base, thus CH3CH(Br)COO- is a stronger base.
