Question 1.

Which statement below best explains why the Ka of acetylene is greater than that of ethylene?

▸ Acetylene has only two hydrogen atoms whereas ethylene has four.

▸ The 4 π electrons of the acetylide anion better stabilize a negative charge.

▸ Acetylide anions are resonance stabilized.

▸ sp2 carbons stabilize a negative charge better than sp carbons.

▸

sp carbons stabilize a negative charge better than sp2 carbons.

Question 2.

Select the best explanation for why methanol, CH3OH, cannot be used as a solvent for the deprotonation of a terminal alkyne by sodium amide, NaNH2.

▸ Sodium amide is not a strong enough base to deprotonate the alkyne.

▸ Methanol is toxic and should be avoided when possible.

▸ Methanol is more acidic than the alkyne and will be deprotonated by NaNH2.

▸ Methanol is a poor solvent for dissolving alkynes.

▸ Sodium amide in methanol reduces alkynes to alkenes.
