Using resonance, select the most acidic protons in the hexane-2,4-dione molecule. the most acidic proton is the one that, upon removal, will yield the most stable conjugate base.
check all that apply.
[hexane-2,4-dione molecule with protons numbered as follows according to iupac nomenclature: protons on c1 are numbered 1 through 3, protons on c3 are numbered 4 and 5, protons on c5 are numbered 6 and 7, protons on c6 are numbered 8 through 10.]

check all that apply.

protons 1, 2, or 3
protons 4 or 5
protons 6 or 7
protons 8, 9, or 10

Protons 4 or 5 are most acidic.

Explanation:

As mentioned there are four types of hydrogen in Hexane-2,4-dione.

The numbering are shown in the figure for your better understanding.

As shown in the figure if we remove the proton from carbon number 3 (protons number 4 or 5), it will result in formation of a carbanion. This carbanion is stabilized due to presence of -I group oxygen and there is possibility of resonance (as shown).

Thus protons 4 or 5 are most acidic.

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
