To determine:
The acid or the conjugate base will predominate at
Introduction:
Strong acids readily dissociates into its ions when they are dissolve in water, whereas weak acid partially dissociates into its ions when they are dissolve in water.
The dissociation of acid yield conjugate base and hydronium ion. At equilibrium, the concentration of acid and its conjugate base is same. Below
