What is an Arrhenius base?
200
The ratio of the molar concentrations of the products to the molar concentration of the products with each concentration raised to the power equal to its coefficient in the balanced chemical equation.
What is the equilibrium constant?
200
In each condition, state which is favored, reactants or products. Keq < 1, Keq > 1, Keq = 1

Daily Double: What is the purpose of the ethanol in the lab "Determination of the pKa of aspirin?"
Because part of the aspirin molecule is hydrophobic, it dissolves poorly in water. Ethanol is used as an alternative solvent to water to help dissolve the aspirin as it is somewhat hydrophobic as well. Remember, "Like dissolves like."
