All Lewis acids are electrophiles. By accepting an electron pair from a Lewis base, a carbocation fills its valence shell

Carbon atoms that are electron poor because of bond polarity, but are not carbocations, can also be electrophiles

The Strength of BrnstedLowry Acids and Bases: Ka and pKa In contrast to strong acids such as HCl and H2SO4, acetic acid is a much weaker acid
O H3C OH + H2O H3C O O + H O H H
At 25oC, in a 0.1 M acetic acid solution, only about 1% of the acetic acid molecules ionize

For dilute aqueous solutions, the concentration of water is essentially constant (~55.5M); and the Keq expression can be written in terms of the acidity constant (Ka)

DG = - RT ln Keq
R is the gas constant = 8.314 J K-1 T is the absolute temperature in kelvins (K)
For a reaction to favor the formation of products when equilibrium is reached it must have a negative value for DG
Ch. 3 - 60
DG = DH - T DS
DH is the enthalpy energy DS is the entropy energy
A negative value for DH will contribute to making DG negative and will consequently favour the formation of products The more random a system is, the greater is its DS

When comparing acidity of organic compounds, we compare the stability of their conjugate base. The more stable the conjugate base, the stronger the acid

The conjugate base acetate is more stable (the anion is more delocalized) than ethoxide due to resonance stabilization

In the absence of a solvent (i.e., in the gas phase), most acids are far weaker than they are in solution
Solvation of any species decreases the entropy of the solvent because the solvent molecules become much more ordered as they surround molecules of the solute, but DH favors solvation.
