Is the reaction to the left or the right more favorable in the following reaction? Explain your answer in terms of acid and base strengths. CH3COOH (aq) + H2O(l) = H3O+(aq) + CH3COO- (aq)
Front
The reaction to the left is more favorable. The H3O+ is a stronger acid than the CH3COOH molecule and can donate its proton much more easily. The CH3COO- ion is a stronger base than the H2O molecule and will attract a donated proton much more easily.
