**Exercise: Equilibrium Constant Calculation**

**Objective:** Determine the \( K_{eq} \) for the reaction shown below. Use the space provided for your calculations. Write the \( K_{eq} \) in the box provided. Does this reaction favor **reactants** or **products**? (circle your choice).

**Chemical Reaction:**

- **Reactants:**  
  1. Phenol (OH group on benzene ring)  
     - \( pK_a = 10 \)
  2. Ethylamine (Et-NH\(_2\))  
     - \( pK_b = 3 \)

- **Products:**  
  1. Phenoxide ion (O\(^-\) on benzene ring)  
  2. Ethylammonium ion (Et-NH\(_3^+\))

**Instructions:**

Calculate the equilibrium constant (\( K_{eq} \)) for the given reaction using the provided \( pK_a \) and \( pK_b \) values. Determine whether the reaction favors the formation of reactants or products, and circle your choice.

---

**Note:** 

1. Equilibrium constant (\( K_{eq} \)) can be determined using the relationship:  

   \[
   K_{eq} = 10^{(pK_b - pK_a)}
   \]

2. After calculating, consider the magnitude of \( K_{eq} \) to determine the favored side of the equilibrium:
   - \( K_{eq} > 1 \): Products are favored.
   - \( K_{eq} < 1 \): Reactants are favored.
