Step 1
To determine which acid is stronger, we need to compare their acid dissociation constants (Ka) or their pKa values. The acid with a lower pKa or a higher Ka value is the stronger acid. Show more…

For each equilibrium, label the stronger acid, stronger base, weaker acid, and weaker base. For which reaction(s) does the position of equilibrium lie toward the right? For which does it lie toward the left? (a) $\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}+\mathrm{OH}^{-} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{PO}_{4}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ (b) $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{Cl}^{-} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{HCl}+\mathrm{OH}^{-}$ (c) $\quad \mathrm{HCO}_{3}^{-}+\mathrm{OH}^{-} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CO}_{3}^{2-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$
For each equilibrium, label the stronger acid, stronger base, weaker acid, and weaker base. For which reaction(s) does the position of equilibrium lie toward the right? For which does it lie toward the left? (a) $\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}+\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{O}^{-} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{O}^{-}+\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OH}$ (b) $\mathrm{HCO}_{3}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3}+\mathrm{OH}^{-}$ (c) $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{PO}_{4}^{-} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}$
For each acid-base equilibrium, label the stronger acid, the stronger base, the weaker acid, and the weaker base. Then predict whether the position of equilibrium lies toward the right or the left. (a) $\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{O}^{+}+\mathrm{I}^{-} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{HI}$ (b) $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COO}^{-}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{S} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH}+\mathrm{HS}^{-}$
