Utilize free energy to quantify how much more stable

Reference no: EM13682990

The strength of an acid and therefore the stability of its conjugate base increases with decreasing pKa. Utilize free energy to quantify how much more stable chloroacetate is than acetate at 298 K.

Given

pka of Acetic Acid = 4.76

pka of chloroacetate acid = 2.87
