Equilibrium lies of side of the weaker acid and weaker base (the weaker
acid and weaker base will always be on the same side)

In order to assess the relative strengths of acids, consider the ability of the acid
to donate a proton (ability to break the H-A bond) and for the conjugate base to
accommodate negative charge. Stronger acids have weaker conjugate bases...

H3O+ is the strongest acid, and HO– is strongest base, that can be present in
water.
In any solvent, the strongest acid [base] which can be present is the conjugate
acid [base] of the solvent. The choice of solvent for acid-base reactions is
important…

Neutral organic
1. Separate the layers, distill off the ether to component in Et2O
isolate nonane
2. Acidify the separated aqueous solution, sodium carboxylate
extract neutral hexanoic acid into another in aqueous base
portion of ether. Separate these two
layers, remove ether.

Thermodynamics tells us the extent to which a reaction CAN occur, but nothing
about how FAST it will be
