Question
**Question 22** **In which direction will the equilibrium lie for the following reaction?** Chemical reaction diagram: - On the left side: Cyclohexanol (a hexagonal ring structure with an OH group) plus sodium ethoxide (a chain of two carbon atoms with an ONa group) - Reaction arrow pointing both ways indicating equilibrium - On the right side: Sodium cyclohexoxide (a hexagonal ring structure with an ONa group) plus ethanol (a chain of two carbon atoms with an OH group) **Answer options:** - ○ to the left - ○ to the right - ○ nearly equally left and right - ○ this reaction won't take place since both sides have an alkoxide present This question assesses understanding of chemical equilibrium and acid-base reactions, specifically with alcohols and alkoxides.
