Decide whether the species on the left or those on the right are favored by the reaction. Circle left or right.

a) NH4+ + H2PO4- <---> NH3 + H3PO4    Left/Right

b) HCN + HS- <---> CN- + H2S Left/Right

c) HCO3- + OH- <---> CO32- + H2O Left/Right

d) Al(H2O)63+ + OH- <---> Al(H2O)5OH2+ + H2O Left/Right

Homework Answers

Answer #1

Reaction will proceed towards side where weak acid is present ( i.e acid with high pka)

a) Reaction favours left .  

This is because strong acid H3PO4 will protonate base NH3 easily compared to weak acid NH4+ protonating H2PO4-

b) Reaction is favoured towards left since H2S is stronger acid and can protonate CN- compared to weaker acid HCN which protonates HS-

c) reaction is favoured right.

This is because HCO3- is stronger acid to protonate OH- compared to weak acid H2O whcih protonates CO3^2-

d) reaction is right favoured.

Al(H2O)6^3+ is strong acid compared to H2O . Hence AL(H2O)6^3+ protonates OH- readily.
