Predict the direction of the following equilibrium and the approximate value of Keq.
RCOOH + R₂NH RCOO⁻ + R₂NH₂⁺ (pKa ≈ 5 and ≈ 11)
Options:
Answer:
D
Solution:
The acid on the left is the carboxylic acid (pKa ≈ 5) and the acid on the right is the ammonium ion R₂NH₂⁺ (pKa ≈ 11). The weaker acid is on the right, so the products are favoured. Keq ≈ 10¹¹⁻⁵ = 10⁶·
