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.


Do acidic solutions give some or many hydrogen ions?

The more acidic a solution is, the more hydrogen ions it gives off.


Why are acids acidic?

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...
