30a: Ranking acids and bases by strength

Complex ranking of acids and bases.

[Ksingh]

Hi... I'm from India... today I was just searching for problem solving regarding acidity n basicity...I found ur video very helpful...thank you so dear...god bless you... it's so nice teaching...I pray to God... to get such an amazing teaching...thnk u once again

[ihavetoomuchfreetime]

you actually saved my life tonight thank you queen

[labibasamiha]

Thank you for this. You literally have saved me tonight

Chlorophenols have a lower pka than phenol. Wouldn't chlorophenol be a stronger acid then phenol. The chlorine group pulls electron density by induction.

[hindalaoui]

I thought Chlorine had a strong pull on electrons because it was electronegative.

[bibeshpokhrel]

Chlorine (Cl) can donate via resonance but withdraw via inductive effect. However, since its lone pair are in 3p orbital compared to that of carbon in 2p orbital, the resonance is weaker, causing it to be electron withdrawing overall.

Hi miss or professor sorry i don't know what they call teacher in USA, do you have any place i can message you because i have question and i really want answer for it, thanks 😊😊😊

[MD.Rabiulislam-cx]

Your explanation is totally awesome mam❤❤❤ from Bangladesh

Your video technically saved my life queen... I have one quick question: for the first problem, could we compare the basicity between the first and last molecule? How will we compare that <3

[elanawills]

For the first one, doesn’t the lack of aromaticity cause there to be no resonance, thus making the molecule more basic?

[alessandrac]

I know that methyl (ch3) groups are ED, but just cause the textbook said so... i'm not really sure how since there is no lone pair or negative charge on the carbon.. i guess cause it's not electronegative?

[average-rice]

halogens are electron withdrawing! but much less withdrawing than nitro groups.

[Abhinay_prajapat]

I am confused this question but I understood it completely through your understanding, thanks mam

[victoriai]

Thank you so much for this video god bless

[ellenruby]

Thank you for the help! It was a bit distracting when the train came by, but overall a good video.
