how to predict which direction the equilibrium of an acid-base favors
predicting the direction of acid-base reactions
-all acid-base reactions favor the direction where a stronger acid and base react to form a weaker acid and base
-if the weaker acid and weaker base lie to the right of the equation (products), the reaction is product favored or K > 1
-if the weaker acid and weaker base lie to the left of the equation (reactants), the reaction is reactant favored or K < 1
we can predict which direction the equilibrium of an acid-base favors by…
-comparing the Ka or pKa of conjugate acids (or Kb or pKb of conjugate bases)
-comparing the conjugate acids (or bases) to predict the strength
-you will be given the equilibrium constant for the reaction, Keq
