Identify the most acidic H atom in each molecule and suggest explanations for the following pKA values: (7 marks)

If the ketone group in the second molecule above is replaced with hydroxy group, what would you predict would happen to the pKA value and why? Clearly identify the acidic H on this new molecule.

3.) Identify the most acidic \( \mathrm{H} \) atom in each molecule and suggest explanations for the following \( \mathrm{pK}_{\mathrm{A}} \) values: (7 marks) a) \( \mathrm{pK}_{\mathrm{A}} \sim 9 \) \( \mathrm{pK}_{\mathrm{A}} \sim 11 \) b) If the ketone group in the second molecule above is replaced with hydroxy group, what would you predict would happen to the \( \mathrm{pK}_{\mathrm{A}} \) value and why? Clearly identify the acidic \( \mathrm{H} \) on this new molecule.
