Question

For each of the reactions in question 4, which will have an equilibrium constant (K) greater than 1, close to 1, or less than 1? EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER.

Do I use the pKa to determine this answer? Do you take the difference in the product and reactant pKa values and then take that difference by power of 10? Or is that not used in this situation? Thanks in advance.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Any reaction in which the strong acid or strong base forms weak acid or weak base, is favored in forward direction and thus it has equilibrium constant value greater than 1 and vice versa. Larger the value of pK_a, stronger the base.
