Which rate, the forward or reverse rate of acid dissociation, is more strongly affected when diluting acetic acid in aqueous solution?
Acetic acid is a weak acid. It is in equilibrium with acetate and hydronium ions in aqueous solution:
$$\ce{CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(l) <=> CH3COO-(aq) + H3O+(aq)}$$
Ostwald's law states that the ...

Hydrolysis of a salt B2X
An aqueous solution of soluble salt $\ce{B2X}$ has concentration of 0.1 M.
Given data :
$\ce{K_b(BOH) = 2 × 10^{–5}}$
$\ce{K_{a1}(H2X) = 2 × 10^{–7}}$
$\ce{K_{a2}(H2X) = 5 × 10^{–10}}$

Formation Constants; Lewis Acidity
I still distinctly remember reading about how Lewis acidity/basicity was characterized using kinetics. The reason given was that because formation constants are so large, these reactions are not ...
