The hardest-working, hottest young rock band in Southern California - ACIDI… Read Full Bio ↴The hardest-working, hottest young rock band in Southern California - ACIDIC - is at it again! Their second tour with Trapt is just about history! The tour took them from the Gulf States through the Northeast. ACIDIC’s latest routing caps an ambitious coast-to-coast tour schedule in support of their new CD and video release, “Copper Man.” The band opened 2013 on the road with Trapt in January, and in June, the boys will rejoin the Oklahoma powerhouse Hinder for a follow-up to their first tour together earlier this year.

ACIDIC’s latest release, “Copper Man,” is their biggest, best, rockiest, rowdiest, and most critically-acclaimed album yet. The “Copper Man” album is produced by multi-platinum award-winner John Ryan of Chicago Kid Productions (Styx, Santana, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Badfinger, Allman Brothers). It earned them a distribution deal with SONY/RED via MegaForce Records. Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx previewed the title track on his nationally-syndicated radio "Side Show" by naming "Copper Man" his "Sixx Pick of the Week"! The hilarious, jawdroppingly insane “Copper Man” video zoomed past 150,000 on Youtube following its release!

ACIDIC’s previous CD, “Chronic Satisfaction,” also produced by John Ryan, was released in Autumn 2011 to wild and enthusiastic response! The first single, "Uninspired," got airplay on FM and internet rock stations across the U.S. and Canada. “Chronic Satisfaction” helped inspire Music Reviews to name ACIDIC one of its “12 Bands to Watch in 2012.” ALTERNATIVE PRESS magazine (Dec. 2011, #281) says the new "Chronic Satisfaction" album "Rocks Like: Funeral Party, Cage the Elephant, Young the Giant."PURE GRAIN AUDIO compared "Uninspired" to Nirvana's "Lithium" - "in the way Gossard performs the vocals and in the angst you can hear in his voice."

ACIDIC has also toured with such heavy hitters as Candlebox, Fuel, Alien Ant Farm, Hawthorne Heights, Filter, and Marcy Playground, and performed in Kosovo and Germany, rocking US troops with Armed Forces Entertainment. ACIDIC has been featured at such prestigious gigs as the 2012 Winter NAMM Show at the Anaheim Convention Center; SXSW; Florida Music Festival; Sunset Strip Music Festival; and Bamboozle Left; and a packed headliner debut at Doug Weston’s Troubadour. ACIDIC won the Alternative category in the 18th Billboard WorldWide Song Contest for their power rocker “Strata Red.”

ACIDIC consists of lead singer/guitarist Michael Gossard, bassist Ted Dubrawski, and drummer Matt Whitaker. The band tours and records as a four-piece with guest guitarists.

@breadwine1144

Don’t know if your gonna see this but here goes

This can be explained by comparing stability of phenoxide anion and carboxylate anion. In carboxylate anion, in the resonance structures, the negative charge is on the more electro negative atom (ie O) while in phenoxide anion, in the resonance structure, the -ve charge is on the more electro positive atom (ie C), thus its is less stable and phenoxide anion is less stable when compared to carboxylate anion.

2nd the - charge is more effectively distributed over 2 O than 1 O so carboxylate anion is more stable

Since carboxylate anion is more stable than phenoxide anion

Carboxylic acids are more acidic than phenols

Hi Professor Dave,
do you have any videos comparing acidity of carboxylic acids with other EDG and EWG?

@ProfessorDaveExplains

i think this one here is the only one like that! but in general EWG increase their acidity, EDG reduce their acidity because of how they stabilize or destabilize the carboxylate conjugate base.

@Caramelxfz

acidity order 5,4,3,2,1 ?

@patricktawadros603

7y↑1

Hey Professor Dave. Can you elaborate a bit more on the Inductive effect with regards to stability? And also, can you contrast that concept with resonance? I keep confusing these two concepts.

@ProfessorDaveExplains

7y↑1

the main difference is that induction occurs through sigma bonds and resonance has to do with pi bonds and pi electron density. both resonance and induction generate a stabilizing effect.

@patricktawadros603

7y↑2

Yeah, but that's my issue. How can any form of stabilization occur through a sigma bond? See I understand how a pi bond or 'extra electrons' can move around and shift to create delocalization and hence, stability. But, I don't understand how that occurs with a sigma bond in the induction effect.

@ProfessorDaveExplains

7y↑4

electronegative elements pull the electron density in a sigma bond towards itself, generating slight electron deficiency in the other atom, which in turn polarizes more sigma electron density, eventually resulting in excess electron density like a negative charge being distributed over a larger volume, so that's why the carboxylic acids with fluorine atoms are more acidic than the ones without, because the fluorine pulls that excess electron density towards itself and stabilizes the negative charge of the conjugate base.

@osa446

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@majidsskgb8930

proffesor dave plz also tell about the comparision of acidity of carboxylic scid and phenol

@ProfessorDaveExplains

phenols are typically more acidic because of more resonance in the conjugate base

@aaronadame1694

How would a phenyl group affect the acidity?

@trigobrooken6260

Recall acid strength is proportional to stability of conjugate base

Good

@vishakanm1700

Among HCOOH and CH3COOH which is more acidic

@dimkacracker

question: so when we look at chlorine and fluorine individually, chlorine is more acidic because of it's size, but here fluorine is more acidic because it's better at stabilizing because it's more electronegative so size doesn't matter here?

@ProfessorDaveExplains

it's not the halogen atoms that are acidic, it's that they increase the acidity of the carboxyl proton because of their ability to withdraw electron density. this stabilizes the conjugate base. but yes, fluorine is more electronegative, so it withdraws more by induction, and stabilizes further.

@mervinprone

5y↑1

What about a Chlorine atom one away versus a Fluorine atom two away? Which would win there?

@ProfessorDaveExplains

5y↑3

Dunno, would have to perform the experiment.

@andrewbonney1693

quick question: is a Fluorine atom at the beta position more electron withdrawing than a chlorine atom at the alpha position? what's the what with that??

@ProfessorDaveExplains

8y↑2

+Andrew Bonney too tough to predict when two trends are at odds, like proximity and electronegativity, we would just look up tabulated values at that point.

+Professor Dave Explains thanks Dave you the real MVP

@sohampaghadar9903

Nice

@collinsn.6674

what if you have a compound with three chlorine, another with two fluorine and the last one with one flourine+one chlorine atom on then. how will you rank the acidity of such carboxylic acid?

@ProfessorDaveExplains

4y↑1

depends on their positions

@bushrarehman3386

if F and Cl are present next to each other on the carbon chain than which factor determine acidity?

@ProfessorDaveExplains

well everything on the molecule will contribute to its acidity, if two halogens are present it'll be more acidic than just one. fluorine has a greater inductive effect, however.
