Q: Acetone (on the left) and acetyl chloride (on the right) are shown below. Regarding deprotonation of a hydrogen from the left methyl group (for both molecules), which molecule will have the lower pKa and why?
A		The molecule on the left will have the lower pKa and destabilize the conjugate base
B		The molecule on the left will have the lower pKa and stabilize the conjugate base
C		The molecule on the right will have the lower pKa and stabilize the conjugate base
D		The molecule on the right will have the lower pKa and destabilize the conjugate base
