Write the balanced K_a and K_b reactions for HSO₃^- in water. Be sure to include the physical states of each species involved in the reaction.

Answer 1

At equilibrium with given equilibrium constant value, an equation can be set which describes the tate of the reaction. For example, consider a equilibrium reaction: A (g) + B (g)-C(g) +D (g) C][D A B where, Equilibrium constant K Concentrati on of Cat equilibrium [C Concentration of Dat equilibiuD Concentration of A at equili brium A] Concentration of Bat equilibrium B] The equilibrium constant expression will not include liquid phase and solid phase Kp is expressed for base dissociation or ionization constant for an equilibrium reaction. K is expressed for acid dissociation or ionization constant for an equilibrium reaction. For acid dissociation of HSO
