Chapter 7, Problem 7.14YT
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

To verify if HCl is a stronger acid than NH3, write their pKa values and see if these values agree with the reaction given in equation 7-29.

Concept introduction:

An acid with less pKa value is more acidic. In other words, more negative the pKa value stronger is that acid. Keq value when greater than 1, reaction favors the product. If Keq is less than 1, reactants are favored.
