Acetic acid is the active ingredient in vinegar. in a solution of acetic acid the following equilibrium is established. hc2h3o2(aq) < --> h+(aq) + c2h3o2-(aq) the equilibrium constant for this reaction is 1.8 x 10–5. what is the equilibrium constant for the following reaction ? h+(aq) + c2h3o2-(aq) < --> hc2h3o2(aq)

the equilibrium constant is 1.8 x 10⁻5 and strongly favor the reactants.

Explanation:

the chemical reaction provided for the two equation are the same but different direction i.e a reversible reaction. Assuming, the mass of reactants and product and temperature remain constant.

therefore, the equilibrium constant K, is 1.8 x 10⁻5. this is a very small value of K, thereby strongly favor the backward direction to form reactant.

the electron configuration that you gave me has 16 electrons ergo it has 16 protons ergo it is the element sulfur.
