Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The products for the given acid base reactions are to determined.
Concept Introduction:
The value of
For any reaction, equilibria are favored to that side of the reaction which has the lowest energy. This doubtlessly reflects the fact that acid-base reactions will go to the side of weak acids and bases.
The strength of an acid is generally described in terms of acidity constant
A large value of
The value of
The higher is the dissolution constant, i.e., the reagent can produce more ions when dissolved in water, the stronger is the acid. Thus, by the above relation, strong acids have low
The stronger the acid, the weaker is its conjugate base.
Larger the value of
