Question

For the following acid-base reaction, predict which side of the equilibrium is favored. 
A) favor right side 
B) favor left side 
C) neither

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction involves a strong acid (HCl) and a weak base (NH3). When a strong acid and weak base react, the equilibrium is shifted to the right to form the weaker acid (NH4+) and stronger base (Cl-). Therefore, the right side of the equilibrium is favored.
