Step 1
A reaction is said to be in equilibrium if the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backward reaction.

Step 2
The value of pKa is inversely proportional to the strength of an acid. Weaker acid has a high value of pKa. The equilibrium favors the formation of the weak acid.

Bicine is an organic compound used as a buffering agent. It is one of Good's buffers and has a pKa of 8.354 at 25 °C. The molecular formula of bicine is C6H13NO4. Bicine can react with Ba(OH)2 according to the following reaction. 2 C6H13NO4 + Ba(OH)2 → Ba(C6H12NO4)2 + 2 H₂O It took a student worker 3 steps to make a buffer solution. First, a bicine solution is made by dissolving 37.47 grams bicine in enough water. The total volume is 200.00 mL. Then 250.00 mL Ba(OH)2 solution is prepared by adding 36.57 grams Ba(OH)2 solid and enough water. At the end, a buffer solution is made by mixing 157.89 mL of the above bicine solution and 89.32 mL of the above Ba(OH)2 solution. A. B. C.
