Relative Strengths of Acids and BasesProton transfer reactions proceed from the stronger acid-base pair to the weaker acid-base pair.For the relative strengths of acids and bases refer to figure 16.4 on page 672 of Brown, LeMay, Bursten and Murphy.Write a balanced equation for the reaction that occurs between ammonium chloride and sodium carbonate.  Decide if the equilibrium lies predominantly toward the reactants or the products.
A Weak Acid
A Weak Base
The Values of KA large vaalue of K means that the reaction favors the formation of product (s).A small value of K means that the reaction favors the reactants.If Kais greater than 1, then the acid is strong and dissociates 100%.If Kb is greater than 1, then the base is strong and dissociates 100%.
The Values of KIf Ka is 10-16 – 1, then the acid is weak.If Kb is 10-16 – 1, then the base is weak.If Ka is less than 10-16 , then the acid is very weak.If Kb is less than 10-16 , then the base is very weak.Refer to Appendix D, Aqueous Equilibrium Constants, page 1115-1116 for the values of K for acids and bases.
