Acids & Bases in Organic Chemistry
Acid-base reactions always produce a new
acid and a new base:
conjugate acid:
The new acid formed when the base
gains a proton
– always found on the product side
conjugate base:
The new base formed by removing a
proton+from
Ca(OH) HCl an acid
– always found on the product side

Acids & Bases in Organic Chemistry
The relative strength of an acid can be
determined using:
the magnitude of Ka (or pKa)
As Ka increases, the strength of the acid
increases.
As pKa decreases, the strength of the acid
increases.
structural trends
The strength of an acid, HX, depends on
– the electronegativity of the atom containing
the acidic hydrogen (i.e. the electronegativity
of X)

Curved Arrows
Curved arrows are used to show the
movement of electrons during a chemical
reaction.
Electrons always move from the electron
donor to the electron acceptor.

Example: Use curved arrows to show the
