Consider the image which depicts the reaction between CH<sub>3</sub>COOH and H<sub>2</sub>O. Reactants: Products: If the composition of the equilibrium mixture is as represented below -CH<sub>3</sub>COOH is classified as A) strong acid B) weak acid C) strong base D) weak base

If the composition of the equilibrium mixture is as represented below Consider the image which depicts the reaction between CH3COOH and H2O. Reactants: Products: If the composition of the equilibrium mixture is as represented below -CH3COOH is classified as A) strong acid B) weak acid C) strong base D) weak base

-CH₃COOH is classified as

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The image and composition of the equilibrium mixture suggest a weak acid-strong base reaction. The product of the reaction is H₂O, which acts as a base by accepting the proton from CH₃COOH (the acid). The concentration of the products is higher than the concentration of the reactants, indicating that the equilibrium favors the products. Therefore, CH₃COOH must be a weak acid. Choice (B) is the best choice.
