On part c when we identify the equilibrium u guys said it favour the forward direction am confused here , isnt here the less stable the conjugate base it the weaker the acid and here in this part on the CB it showes that the conjugate base with lone pair that means it is less stable and dosent this makes the acid on the reactant weaker and if so since nature favour the weaker shouldn't the equilibrium shift backward? Thank u

**Step 2**

(a) Loan pair and electron movement arrows

**[Diagram]**

The diagram shows a molecule with loan pairs and electron movement indicated by curved arrows. An OH- group is presented as reacting with a carbonyl group.

(b) Molecule structure with labels:
   
- Electrophile
- Nucleophile

**[Diagram]**

The diagram indicates positions of the electrophile and nucleophile within the reaction, showing interaction between a carbonyl group and an OH- group.

(c) Text explanation:

Forward side dominate in equilibrium due to the formation of resonating structure

(d) Resonating structure of product.

**[Diagram]**

This diagram illustrates the resonating structures with double-headed arrows between different forms of the molecule, emphasizing the stability and equilibrium dominance due to resonance.
