The 3-nitrogen is most acidic. The 3-nitrogen is the nitrogen in between the two carbonyl groups at the C-2 and C-4 centers. The reason for my choice is because each of the two carbonyl group can enolize to form an imine and each enol form can resonate to the other enol form. Therefore, this enol is stabilized, making the proton at N-3 more acidic than the proton at N-1 which can only form one enol by the C-2 carbonyl.

In butane which hydrogen is more acidic hydrogen of ch3 or hydrogen of ch2 and why?

In butane NONE of the 10 hydrogen atoms are acidic hydrogens (at least not in water) so you can NOT specify which ones are more (or less) acidic.


What happens to the number of hydrogen ions if a solution becomes more acidic?

The concentration of hydrogen in a solution increases as the pH of the solution becomes more acidic.

Why is h3po4 is so much more acidic than h2po4 and hpo4?

acidityis measured by pH which means the power of Hydrogen. As H3PO4 has more hydrogen, it is more acidic and can donate more protons than H2PO4 and HPO4. Therefore, more hydrogen concentration and a lower pH value.

Why is a acid called a acid?

They are acidic due to hydrogen ions. The more hydrogen ions converted from the original solution there are the more acidic it will be. For example Hydrochloric Acid converts more hydrogen ions from (hydrogen + water + chloride) solution than citric acid does from its respective solution...

Are aldehydes acidic?

Owing to the resonance stabilization of the conjugate base, an alpha hydrogen (alpha hydrogen is the hydrogen attached to the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group) in an aldehyde is more acidic than a hydrogen atom in an alkane, with a typical pKa of about 17.
