- Complete each of these reactions by filling in the blanks. Predict whether each reaction is product-favored or reactant-favored, and explain your reasoning. (a) _________ (aq) + Br(aq) NH3(aq) + HBr(aq) (b) CH3COOH(aq) + CN(aq) ________ (aq) + HCN(aq) (c) ________ (aq)+H2O () NH3(aq) + OH(aq)arrow_forwardMost naturally occurring acids are weak acids. Lactic acid is one example. CH3CH(OH)CO2H(s)+H2O(l)H3O+(aq)+CH3CH(OH)CO2(aq) If you place some lactic acid in water, it will ionize to a small extent, and an equilibrium will be established. Suggest some experiments to prow that this is a weak acid and that the establishment of equilibrium is a reversible process.arrow_forwardPredict which of these acid-base reactions are product-favored and which are reactant-favored. In each case write a balanced equation for any reaction that might occur, even if the reaction is reactant-favored. Consult Table 14.2 if necessary.

- Predict which of these acid-base reactions are product-favored and which are reactant-favored. In each case write a balanced equation for any reaction that might occur, even if the reaction is reactant-favored. Consult Table 14.2 if necessary. (a) NH4+(aq)+HPO42(aq) (b) CH3COOH(aq) + OH(aq) (c) HSO4(aq)+H2PO4(aq) (d) CH3COOH(aq) + F(aq)arrow_forwardSwimming pool disinfectants produce hypochlorous acid upon dissolution. The weak acid ionizes as follows: HClO (aq) ⇄ H+ (aq) + ClO‒ (aq) Ka=3.0 x 10 ‒8 As strong oxidizing agents, both acid and its conjugate base kill bacteria. However, too high [HClO] is irritating to swimmers’ eyes and too high [ClO‒] will cause the ions to decompose in sunlight. The recommended pH to circumvent both problems is 7.8. Determine the ratio of the weak acid and its conjugate base at this pH.arrow_forward1. The odor of spoiled butter is due in part to butanoic acid (HC4H7O2) which results from the breakdown of the fat in butter. A 0.100M solution of butanoic acid is 1.23% ionized. a. Write the chemical equation for the ionization of this acid in water. b. Write the Ka expression for this acid. c. What is the equilibrium concentration of each product and the reactant?arrow_forward
- CH3CH2COOH Draw the Lewis structure of the acid and mark the acidic hydrogen with an asterisk (*). Draw a Lewis structure of the conjugate base of the acid. Suppose the acid is neutralized with a strong base. a) Which of the two structures you drew in 6 and 7 would be the predominant form of the species at a pH well above that at the equivalence point? b) Which of the two structures would be the predominant form of the species at a very low pH, well below that at the equivalence point and similar to the pH near the start of the titration? c) At what point in the titration, if any, would there be equal amounts of the two forms?arrow_forwardConsider the following equilibrium: HNO2(aq) + H20 (1) = H3O*(aq) + NO2 (aq) In which direction (if any) will the equilibrium shift if: i.
