The student adds methanoic acid, HCOOH (ka=n 1.82 x 10-4 mol dm-3) to butanoic acid. A reaction takes place to form an equilibrium mixture containing two acid base pairs. Complete the equilibrium below and label the conjugate acid base pairs.
HCOOH + CH3(CH2)2COOH (equilibrium sign) ................ + ................
Is this right?
HCOOH + CH3(CH2)2COOH (equilibrium sign) HCOOH2 + CH3(CH2)2COO-
