2. For each of the following acid-base reactions, (i) draw the expected products; (ii) predict if the reaction will go in the forward or the reverse direction. Completely fill in the circle in front of your answer choice. (Hint: use the approximate pka values given in the textbook.) a. H3N-H + The reaction will go in: the forward direction (equilibrium lies to the right). O the reverse direction (equilibrium lies to the left). b. OH The reaction will go in: + H-CI the forward direction (equilibrium lies to the right). O the reverse direction (equilibrium lies to the left).
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.

**Question 2: Acid-Base Reactions**
For each of the following acid-base reactions:
(i) Draw the expected products.
(ii) Predict if the reaction will proceed in the forward or the reverse direction. Completely fill in the circle in front of your answer choice. (Hint: use the approximate \( pK_a \) values given in the textbook.)
**a.**
\[ \text{H}_3\text{N-H}^+ + \text{O=C-O}^- \leftrightarrow \]
- **The reaction will go in:**
- ☐ The forward direction (equilibrium lies to the right).
- ☐ The reverse direction (equilibrium lies to the left).
**b.**
\[ \text{OH-C(O)H} + \text{H-Cl} \leftrightarrow \]
- **The reaction will go in:**
- ☐ The forward direction (equilibrium lies to the right).
- ☐ The reverse direction (equilibrium lies to the left).
**Diagrams/Equations Explanation:**
- **a.** Involves a protonated amine (ammonium ion) reacting with a carboxylate ion. The arrows indicate a reversible reaction, meaning it can proceed in both directions depending on the conditions.
- **b.** Involves a carboxylic acid reacting with hydrochloric acid (HCl). Again, the reversible arrows indicate that the reaction can shift to either the reactants or products based on equilibrium principles.
The decision of direction is influenced by comparing the \( pK_a \) values of the acids on either side of the reaction. Lower \( pK_a \) means a stronger acid. The equilibrium favors the formation of the weaker acid-base pair.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F0fcb0af8-b750-4635-b3ee-2f0c31e9ebdb%2F230c7c40-b813-46c2-9d09-55ea57c5d763%2Fssh3wpu_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
