CH3OCH3 + BH3 H3C O BH3
base acid CH3
Answer: D
Answer: C
Answer: No, the reaction will not take place as written because the strongest acid reacts with the
strongest base to give the weakest conjugate acid and the weakest conjugate base. D (pKa =
15.7) is a stronger acid than A (pKa = 18).
a. is a weak acid
b. is a strong acid
c. has a weak conjugate base
d. both b and c

phenol OH 10.00
Answer: phenol
Answer: Ethanol is the weakest acid (largest pKa) so its conjugate base, ethoxide, CH 3CH 2O − , will be
the strongest base.
34. Explain why phenol has a much lower pKa than ethanol.
Answer: Phenol is more acidic (has a lower pKa) than ethanol because the phenoxide anion is resonance
stabilized by the pi electrons in the ring.
Ethoxide anion has no resonance stabilization. The negative charge is borne fully by oxygen.
