### Understanding Reaction Equilibria and Base Strengths**Equilibrium Concept in Chemical Reactions**In reversible chemical reactions, equilibrium is maintained by the presence of four species in the solution at any given time: the acid, the conjugate base, the conjugate acid, and the base. Sometimes, it is necessary to completely deprotonate every molecule of the acid, driving the reaction entirely to the right. This complete deprotonation requires strong bases.**Examples of Strong Bases:**- CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂Li- NaNH₂- LiN(i-Pr)₂**Examples of Weaker Bases:**- NaOH- NaOCH₃- KOtBu- NaOCH₂CH₃**Analysis of Base Strengths**For each of these bases, consider the reaction products when they interact with water (H₂O). Use **pKₐ** values to comprehend the relative strengths of these bases. This understanding is critical for recognizing how effectively these bases can drive reactions to completion.You will be provided with seven separate reactions to analyze. Understanding these interactions helps in making informed decisions in chemical synthesis and analysis.

When a base reacts with an acid, it abstracts the acidic hydrogen and converts into its conjugate…

The equilibrium idea means that if the reaction is reversible there will be four species in solution at one time, the acid, the base, the conjugate acid, and the conjugate base. Sometimes this is what is required, but at other times we need to choose bases that will completely deprotonate every molecule of acid, i.e. send the reaction completely to the right. These bases will include CH3CH2CH2CH,Li, NaNH2, and LIN(i-Pr)2. Weaker bases will include NAOH, NaOCH3, KOtBu, and NaOCH2CH3. For each of these bases, give the products formed when they react with H20, then use pKa values to get an idea of the relative base strengths of these compounds. You will provided 7 separate reactions.

A chemist is studying the following equilibirum, which has the given equilibrium constant at a certain temperature: 30₂(g) 203 (g) K₂=8.x10-6 He fills a reaction vessel at this temperature with 5.0 atm of oxygen gas. Use this data to answer the questions in the table below. Can you predict the equilibrium pressure of 03, using only the tools available to you within ALEKS? If you said yes, then enter the equilibrium pressure of O3 at right. Round your answer to 1 significant digit. Ⓒyes O no atm 0.2 S
In Problem 4A, you are given initial concentrations and asked which direction the reaction will go. This involves formulating the reaction quotient, Q and comparing it to the equilibrium constant, K. If Q is smaller than K, the reaction will go forward. If it is greater than K, the reaction will go in reverse. This is what I call the “easy” version of a Type 5 problem – determining the direction. Problem 4B asks what the concentrations will be at equilibrium. This is a harder problem and it involves setting up the ICE chart and solving it. I refer to this as the “hard” version of a Type 5 problem – determining not just the direction but what the concentrations are at equilibrium. You will have to come back to this part of the problem when we have covered how to solve it. 4A) Suppose you place some solid NH4HS in a flask containing 0.50 atm NH3 (g).
