Acid-Base X. Levelling Effect

Wednesday, 22nd February 2017

Contents I. Introduction II. Levelling Effect in Acids III. Levelling Effect in Bases IV. Levelling Effect Overview V. Example of Levelling Effect VI. Conclusion VII. Try It Yourself! I. Introduction We have seen the relationship between pKa, pKb, and pKsolv in Acid-Base VIII. We have also seen that acids and bases can have different strength … More Acid-Base X. Levelling Effect

Acid-Base VI. Using pKa to Predict the Course of a Reaction – Part 2

Thursday, 2nd February 2017

A lot of organic reactions aren’t obvious that they are actually acid-base reactions. Here, we look at an example and talk about how to see it as an acid-base reaction. … More Acid-Base VI. Using pKa to Predict the Course of a Reaction – Part 2

Acid-Base V. Using pKa to Predict the Course of a Reaction – Part 1

Tuesday, 13th December 2016

We can use pKa to predict the course of a reaction. Here we use the deprotonation of acetylene with different bases and predict whether or not the reaction will take place by only using pKa values. … More Acid-Base V. Using pKa to Predict the Course of a Reaction – Part 1

Acid-Base II. What is pKa and Why is It Important?

Saturday, 3rd December 2016

The most useful concept in acid-base theory is the pKa. It is important in organic chemistry as we can use it for many things, shown in the subsequent posts. … More Acid-Base II. What is pKa and Why is It Important?
