From the two compounds below identify which would produce the more acidic conjugate acid along with the best explanation.
▸ The conjugate acid of I is more acidic due to protonation of the localized electrons on the nitrogen atom.
▸ The conjugate acid of I is more acidic as compound II has resonance in the aromatic ring.
▸ The conjugate acid of II is more acidic as it would have three hydrogen atoms attached.
▸ Once both compounds are protonated they can no longer hydrogen bond and thus are of equal acidity.
▸ The conjugate acid of II is more acidic as the compound would no longer have delocalized electrons.
