Homework Statement


Chemical equilibrium: K+F- plus formic acid HCOOH (pKa 3.8) in equilibrium with potassium formate HCOO-K+ plus HF (pKa 3.2).


Which side does the equilibrium favour?

Homework Equations


Equilibrium favours weak acid or weak base (I don't know why :frown:)

The Attempt at a Solution


Using the given pka values, since the reactant is the weaker acid, reactants are favoured. (Backward reaction is favoured).
But why does equilibrium favour weak acid or weak base?

Try to express the K of the reaction using Ka values for both acids.
