Where does the equilibrium lie? What is the major determining factor?
The equilibrium lies to the left (toward reactants). Electronegativity of the
charged atoms.
The equilibrium lies to the right (toward products). Electronegativity of the
charged atoms.
The equilibrium lies to the left (toward reactants). Polarizability of the charged
atoms.
The equilibrium lies to the right (toward products). Polarizability of the charged
atoms.
It is impossible to determine where the equilibrium lies without Ka (or pk)
values.
