Acid and Base
Reactions
Conductivity
The conductivity of an acid is determined by the number of ions
generated in a solution and is therefore a combination of both the
strength and concentration of the acid.
1.0 M HCl is a better conductor than 0.10 M HCl
1.0 M HI is a better conductor than 1.0 M HF.
1.0 M HF has the same conductivity as 0.02 M HCl.
The same is true for a base.
0.004 M NaOH has the same conductivity as 1.0 M NH3
Amphiprotic Chemical Species
Amphiprotic chemical species can act as acids and donate protons or
bases and accept protons. They are listed both on the left side of the
table as an acid and the right side as a base.

Look up the two amphiprotic ions on the left side of the acid chart. The
higher one is the stronger acid and will be the acid and donate a
proton to the base.

Acid
Now compare the acid on the left HC2O4- to the acid on the right H2CO3.
HC2O4- is the stronger acid and more successfully donates its proton to
favour the formation of products.
This means there are more products than reactants at equilibrium.
When you find the stronger acid, the other side is always favoured.

Reactants are Favoured because H2SO3 is a stronger acid than HSO4-
The stronger acid H2SO3 more successfully donates its proton making
more reactants.
