a) Draw o-chlorophenol.
b) Draw and name the conjugate base of o-chlorophenol.
c) Which predominates in water at pH 7, o-chlorophenol or its conjugate base?
pKa of ortho chloro phenol = 8.52
reference : Drahonovsky J, Vacek Z; Collect Czech Chem Commun 36: 3431-40 (1971)
hence ortho chloro phenol will predominate , and will be approximately 10 times it's conjugate base.
