- Consider the following two acid-base reactions: OH OHI Based on what you know about the compounds and their acidity, which direction would you expect both of these reactions to proceed? Show your reasoning. A pKa table has been provided in case you need it.

Cl Cl (1) (2) (3) They find one will react quickly, one slowly, and one will not react at all. Which is which, and why? HINT: What is the reaction they're trying to do? Does that mechanism tell you anything about why something would be favored?arrow_forwardNH3 decomposes through an equilibrium reaction between NH3, H2, and N2. Only one of the options is correct:(A). The mechanism of the NH3 decomposition reaction must necessarily involve the collision of two NH3 molecules to induce a rearrangement of the atoms in this molecule.(B). The molecular weight of the NH3 decomposition reaction is 2 since two NH3 molecules must collide.(C). The rate of the NH3 decomposition reaction must be greater than that of NH3 synthesis, since the former requires two molecules to collide and the latter, four.(D). The NH3 decomposition reaction cannot occur in a single step.arrow_forwardGiven the equilibrium A2 + B2 ⇌ 2 AB where k1 is the rate coefficient of the forward reaction and k-1 is the rate coefficient of the reverse reaction, with the forward reaction being first-order in A2 and B2, and the reverse reaction being second-order in AB. Equilibrium will be reached later if the relative values of the constants are:(A) k1 high and k-1 high(B) k1 high and k-1 low(C) k1 low and k-1 high(D) k1 low and k-1 lowarrow_forward
