Question
Chapter 11.13A, Problem 11.32P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
An explanation corresponding to given statement that methanesulfonic acid is a much stronger acid than acetic acid is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The stronger acid is also identified by its resonance structures. More is the resonance stabilised structures more is the delocalised electron density and thus more it acts as a strong acid.

Lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) is used as a strong base in organic synthesis. LDA is itself prepared by an acid-base reaction between butyllithium and N,N-diisopropylamine, [(CH3)2CH]2NH. Write an equation for this reaction, and place the appropriate labels on each reagent and product from the following list: stronger acid, stronger base, weaker acid, weaker base.

- Salicylic acid, HOC6H4CO2H, and its derivatives have been used as pain relievers for a long time. Salicylic acid occurs in small amounts in the leaves, bark, and roots of some vegetation (most notably historically in the bark of the willow tree). Extracts of these plants have been used as medications for centuries. The acid was first isolated in the laboratory in 1838.
