Question : How would the product ratio of the reversible reaction shown below change with the type of acid used in the reaction ?
- Please explain whether you would anticipate problems for the outcome of our reaction if you were to change the procedure by
- a) using 9M phosphoric acid instead of 9M sulfuric acid,
- b) letting the reaction proceed for 5 hours instead of 45 minutes.
