16. Chemical Equilibrium / Calculating K For Overall Reaction / Problem 10
The following equation below shows the reaction of hydrogen sulfate anion (HSO4-) with ammonia (NH3) to form sulfate (SO42-) and ammonium ions (NH4+).
HSO4-(aq) + NH3(aq) ⇌ SO42-(aq) + NH4+(aq)
The value of Ka for hydrogen sulfate anion (HSO4-) is 1.26 x 10-2 while the Kb value for ammonia (NH3) is 1.8 x 10-5.
Determine whether the value of Kc will be >1 or <1 for this reaction? Identify the direction which will be favored at equilibrium for this reaction.
