An acid-base equilibrium lies on the side that forms
Athe stronger acid and base
Bthe weaker acid and base
Cthe larger ions formed
Dthe more volatile species
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. the weaker acid and base
The stronger acid donates its proton, so the equilibrium favours formation of the weaker acid and weaker base.
