Answer:

b C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + OH⁻

e HC₂H₃O₂ + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + C₂H₃O₂⁻

f ka<<1

g. Weak acid molecules and water molecules

Explanation:

The water molecule could act as a base and as an acid, a molecule that have this property is called as amphoteric.

b The salt NaC₂H₃O₂ is dissolved in water as Na⁺ and C₂H₃O₂⁻. The reaction of the anion with water is:

C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + OH⁻

Where the C₂H₃O₂⁻ is the base and water is the acid.

e. The reaction of HC₂H₃O₂ (acid) with water (base), produce:

HC₂H₃O₂ + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + C₂H₃O₂⁻

f. As the acetic acid (HC₂H₃O₂) is a week acid, the dissociation in C₂H₃O₂⁻ is not complete, that means that ka<<1

g. The ka for this reaction is 1,8x10⁻⁵, that means that there are more weak acid molecules (HC₂H₃O₂) than conjugate base ions. Also, the water molecules will be in higher proportion than hydronium ions.

I hope it helps!

HC2H3O2 is a weak acid so it dissociates to a small extent in solution.

When NaC2H3O2 is dissolved in water, the following reaction occurs;

[tex]NaC2H3O2(aq) ---->Na^+(aq) + C2H3O2-(aq)[/tex]

The ion combines with water as follows;

[tex]C2H3O2-(aq) + H2O(l) -----> HC2H3O2(aq) + OH-(aq)[/tex]

When  HC2H3O2 is added to water, the following reaction occurs;

[tex]HC2H3O2(aq) + H2O(l) -----> H3O+(aq) + C2H3O2-(aq)[/tex]

We must note that HC2H3O2 is a weak acid. Weak acids only dissociate to a small extent in water therefore Ka << 1.

Since Ka << 1, it the follows that weak acid molecules and water molecules are present in the greatest concentration in solution because HC2H3O2 only dissociates to a very small extent.
