Step 1
OH⁻ + H₂O → H₂O + OH⁻ In this case, the pKa of water is around 15.7, and the pKa of the hydroxide ion is around 15.7 as well. Since the pKa values are the same, the equilibrium will lie in the middle, with no preference for either side. Show more…

Predict the direction of equilibrium for each acid-base reaction below. The equilibrium arrow should clearly favor either the reactants or the products. pKa = -1.7 pKa = -7.3

Complete the following acid-base reactions and use an arrow to show in which direction the equilibrium lies. Use the "Approximate pKa values" sheet found in PAGES to help determine your answer. Use curvy arrows to show the movement of electrons. Include all lone pairs and formal charge in the starting materials and products. Circle the strongest base in the reaction above. Give the approximate ratio of reactants to products at equilibrium in this reaction.
(1) Draw the structures of the products of the following acid-base reaction. Include electron pushing arrows showing how the products are formed. (2) Label the starting acid, base, conjugate acid, and conjugate base. (3) Using the pKa table in your textbook (Table 2.2), label the acids and bases as strong or weak and indicate the direction of the equilibrium.
