Equilibria of Acids and Bases

Question 12 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

A base is added to water. What happens when the position of equilibrium lies to the left?

Answer
A
The base is completely dissociating into products.
B
The base is partially dissociating into products.
C
The base is not dissociating into any ions.
D
The base is present in very small amounts.

Explanation

If the equilibrium lies to the left, the reactants are favored over the products. Some base has formed ions, but most remains undissociated, so the base is partially dissociating into products. It is not completely dissociated, as choice A suggests.
