Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The strong acid, strong base and weak acid and weak base for each reaction to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Equilibrium will favor the side of the reaction with weak acid and weak base combination. To maintain the equilibrium between the reaction of acid and base the equilibrium will shift towards the species containing weak acid and weak base.
(b)
Interpretation:
The strong acid, strong base and weak acid and weak base for each reaction to be identified.
