For the reaction given below, draw a mechanism (curved arrows) and then predict which side of the reaction is favoured under equilibrium conditions. Include lone pairs and formal charges.
Predict which side of the reaction is favored under equilibrium conditions, and explain your choice.
a. the reactants are favored, because the negative charge on the electronegative oxygen atom is more stable (making it the stronger base).
b. the products are favored, because the negative charge on the electronegative oxygen atom is more stable (making it the weaker base).
c. the products are favored, because the negative charge on the large sulfur atom is more stable (making it the weaker base).
d. the reactants are favored, because the negative charge on the large sulfur atom is more stable (making it the stronger base).
