Question 15 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

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

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

Explanation

A strong base reacts with water to form ions, and the reaction proceeds mostly toward those products. This means the equilibrium position lies far to the right, so products are favored; it does not mean equal amounts of reactants and products.
