Question

The acid dissociation constant Ka equals 1.26 × 10–2 for HSO4– and is 5.6 × 10–10 for NH4. Which statement about the following equilibrium is correct? HSO4–(aq) + NH3(aq) SO42–(aq) + NH4+(aq)

Answer 1

Answer: From the reaction, we can conclude the following about equilibrium;

The reaction will favour the reactants because ammonia is a stronger base compare to the sulphate ion.
