Which is more basic and why? could you explain how you get theanswer?

This has to do with acidity and basicity. I have to determine which is more acidic (or more basic) and explain why.

1. Between TMS-acetylene and methane, choose the more acidic (or basic) and explain why?
- I believe the trimethylsilylacetylene is more acidic due to the location of the alpha hydrogen and being more readily deprotonated while all of the hydrogens in methane are equal and makes it harder to deprotonate one of the alpha carbons. Am I correct or is there more to this?

2. Between sodium hydroxide and sodium acetate, which is the stronger base (or acid) and why?
- I KNOW that sodium hydroxide is a stronger base but I don't know why...any ideas?

3. Between Pentane-2,4-dione vs 3,3-dimethylpentane-2,4-dione, which is more acidic/basic?
- I'm not sure if these are bases or acids let alone know which is more basic/acidic.

The pH of blood is 7.4 and that of saliva is 6.4. Which of thetwo is more basic? How much more basic is it?
