In this problem, we have an acid -based reaction, and we want to know which side is favored for equilibrium.
00:07
But first, let's talk about what an acid -based reaction is.
00:10
So here, by a base, we mean a compound that's going to accept a hydrogen, whereas an acid is going to donate a hydrogen.
00:23
So if you notice here, we have a minus charge, and over here we don't, that's because we protonated this with hydrogen.
00:30
So that means that this accepted a hydrogen, meaning it's a, a base and what was a base, but gained a hydrogen is what we call our conjugate acid.
00:46
And then of course, this is going to be an acid and this is going to be a conjugate base.
00:55
Now, to determine where equilibrium will lie, we need to look at our acid versus conjugate acid or base versus conjugate base...
