Bronsted Acid Reverse Reaction

Postby Andrew La 1A » Fri Jan 26, 2024 7:40 pm

In this reaction (CH3COOH + H2O ⇌ CH3CHOO- + H3O+), for the reverse reaction would CH3COO- take a proton from the H2O solution or the H3O+?

CH3COO- will behave as a base and, therefore, accepts a proton H+ from H3O+ within the reverse reaction, which leads to CH3COO- losing it's negative charge, and thus CH3COOH is one of the products along with H2O.

The H+ proton would come from the H3O+ if the reverse reaction takes place.
