(a)
Interpretation:
The product for the given acid-base reaction has to written and whether the reaction is product favored or reactant favored at equilibrium has to be indicated.
Concept introduction:
According to the explanations by Bronsted-Lowry, if a species loses a proton then it is an acid whereas if a species receives one proton, then it is base.
If a base receives one proton, then the formed species is a conjugate acid whereas an acid lose one proton, then the formed species is a conjugated base.
Mixture of acid and base undergoes equilibrium reaction and it’s
Weak acids are more stable and less reactive, so equilibrium follows the direction of formation weak acids in a reaction.
