Acetylene has a chemical formula which can be written as:C2H2 We can see that there are two positive ions, H+. Now whatdeprotonation means is that the H+ is removed from acetylene to form acetyleneion and water. In this case, I believe that the answer would be:LiOCH3

LiOCH₃ would not effectively deprotonate acetyleneFurther explanationThe equilibrium reaction can be determined if the pKa or Ka values ​​of the acid and conjugate acids (acids in the product) are known.So it can be concluded that the reacting acid can protonate the base or vice versa base compounds can deprotonating the acid in the reaction, so that the reaction can proceed to the right to form a product or notIn an acid-base reaction, it can be determined whether or not a reaction occurs by knowing the value of pKa or Ka from acid and conjugate acid Acids and bases according to Bronsted-LowryAcid = donor (donor) proton (H + ion)Base = proton (receiver) acceptor (H + ion)If the acid gives (H⁺), then the remaining acid is a conjugate base because it accepts protons. Conversely, if a base receives (H⁺), then the base is formed can release protons and is called the conjugate acid from the original base.The value of the equilibrium constant (K)Can be formulated:K acid-base reaction = Ka acid on the left / K acid on the right.or:pK = acid pKa on the left - pKa acid on the rightK = equilibrium constant for acid-base reactionspK = -log KK value> 1) indicates the reaction can take place, or the position of equilibrium to the right.There is some data that we need to complete from the problem above, the pKa value of the conjugated acid from the base of the compounds above1. (CH₃)₂NLi, pKa = 382. CH₃OCH₂MgBr, pKa = 503. LiOCH₃, pKa = 164. CH₃Li, pKa = 505. KH, pKa = 50Whereas the pKa of Acetylene (C₂H₂) itself is = 25From the conjugated acid pKa value of some of the bases above shows only LiOCH₃ bases that cannot deprotonate acetylene because the pKa value is smaller than the pKa acetylene The reactions that occur are: LiOCH₃ + HC ≡ CH ---> HOCH₃ + LiC = CHThe value of the equilibrium constant K ispK = pKa acetylene - pKa HOCH₃pK = 25-16pK = 9K values ​​<1 indicate a reaction cannot occurLearn morethe lowest phthe concentrations at equilibrium.the ph of a solutionKeywords : pKa,  acetylene, deprotonate, the conjugate acid

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.
