Answer 1

Answer:

Trifluoroacetate ion: The oxygen atom of ethoxide ion has higher electron density than the oxygen atoms of acetate ion, due to electron delocalization by resonance.

Answer 2

The greater electron density is Trifluoroacetate ion.

Explanation:

Trifluoroacetate ion.

• Trifluoroacetate is a monocarboxylic acid anion. It derives from an acetate.
• A very strong halogenated derivative of acetic acid. It is used in acid catalyzed reactions especially those where an ester is cleaved in the peptide synthesis.
