Question 3 • Chemistry

What does it mean for a strong base to be in equilibrium?

Answer
A
There is a great deal of base and very few ions.
B
The position of equilibrium lies far to the right, with products being favored.
C
The position of equilibrium lies far to the left, with products being favored.
D
There is an equal amount of reactants and products.

Explanation

A strong base ionizes almost completely in water, so the equilibrium favors the products (the ions) and lies far to the right. Choice B correctly describes this. Choice C says products are favored while the equilibrium lies to the left, which is contradictory.
