Question

Would this be the correct answer?

Ammonia has a pka of 38, and acetylene (ethynem C2H2) has a pKa of 25. W Ammoria is 1013 times more acidio than ethne and wil lose its proton when placed in contact with the base Cp Opka varies O Ethyne is 1013 times more acidt than ammonia and will ose its proton when placed in contact with the base NH2- s with the reaction conditions; the position of equillbrium cannot be determined just inspecting the pka Ammonia is 13 times more acidie than ethyne and will lose its proton when placed in contact with the base Calr Ethyne is 13 times more acidio than amonia and will lose its proton when placed in contact with the base NH2)

Explanation / Answer

Since pKa of ammonia is 13 more than pKa of ethyne.

So ethyne is 1013 times more acidic than ammonia.

Conjugate base of ammonia(NH3)-----------NH2-

More acidic component(ethyne) loses its proton when placed in contact with conjugate base of ammonia ,i.e.NH2-

So,yes your answer will be the correct answer
