10. Which of the following is a true statement regarding the equilibrium shown? COOH ONa CO Na OH NO2 NO, NO2 (A) Molecule 1 is the stronger acid so the equilibrium favors the reactants (B) Molecule 1 is the stronger acid so the equilibrium favors the products (C) Molecule 1 is the weaker acid so the equilibrium favors the reactants (D) Molecule 1 is the stronger base so the equilibrium favors the reactants (E) Molecule 1 is the stronger base so the equilibrium favors the products pe here to search 0@e.

Explanation / Answer

10)
I and 4 are acid here
I is carboxylic acid and 4 is alcohol
So, I is stronger acid than 4

2 and 3 are conjugate base
2 is conjugate base of 4
1 is conjugate base of 3

Since 1 is stronger than 4, its conjugate base will be weaker
So, 2 is stronger base than 3

equilibrium is always shifted to side containing weak acid and base as strong acid and base reacts completely

So, equilibrium will be shifted towards 3 and 4
