Why CH3CH2NH3 more acidic than H2O
do not use Pka value please, show me ur reason by comparing
structures
see dude electronegativity of N<O, as we know that with
increasing the electronegativity the of the atoms the stability of
the negative charge on that atoms also get increases.
here acidity means the release of H+. so after loosing the H+ ion
form H2O and CH3CH2NH2 they will form OH- and CH3CH2NH- (these are
called conjugate base of the corresponding acid) respectively. as
electronegativity of O>N, so the stability of OH- > CH3CH2NH-
. as we know the more stable conjugate base means its correspondin
acdic compound is more acidic than less stable conjugate base.
