Which of the following would be an accurate picture of the earth during the summer time of the northern hemisphere?

Predict the products of the following acid-base reactions, and predict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the reaction arrow.part ao2-(aq)+h2o(l)< => express your answer as part of a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer.o2-(aq)+h2o(l) < => oh-(aq)+oh-(aq)part bpredict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the equation in previous part.h2o is a stronger acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the right.h2o is a weaker acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the left.h2o is a stronger acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the left.h2o is a weaker acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the right.part cch3cooh(aq)+hs?
