Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The position of equilibrium has to be determined for the given reactions.
Concept Introduction:
Base and its conjugate Acid: A Base is a species that can gain a proton. When a base gains a proton
Acid-base reactions: An acid cannot lose a proton unless a base is present to accept the proton. Therefore, an acid always reacts with a base. The reaction of an acid with a base is called an acid-base reaction or a proton transfer reaction. Acid-base reactions are always reversible reactions.
Acid and its conjugate base: An acid is a species that can lose a proton. When an acid loses a proton
Position of equilibrium: By comparing
