Calculations Based on Bronsted-Lowry Theory
« on: April 04, 2011, 01:02:44 AM »
When the following substances are introduced into water do the resulting equilibria favour products or reactants?

f) MgO

Answer: products; Keq > 1022 (acid = H2O)

Why is the answer an inequality? with this sign ( > )

Most likely that means the obvious - we don't know exact value of K, but we know it is larger than 1022.
