Predict whether the following reaction will proceed from left to the right to any measurable extent:
`CH_(3)COOH(aq)+Cl^(-)(aq)to`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`CH_(3)COOH(aq)+Cl^(-)(aq)toCH_(3)Coo^(-)+HCl`
`CH_(3)COOH` is a weak acid than `HCl`. This indicates the conjugate base `CH_(3)COO^(-)` of `CH_(3)COOH` is strong and holds the proton strongly. HCl is a strong acid. So its conjugate base `Cl^(-)` ion is weak base. So the reaction cannot proceed from left to right to a measurable extent.
