Complete the following acid-base reactions. If the proton transfer does not proceed predominantly to the right, enter NR (in upper case) instead of entering products. (Read
this
for background on predicting the direction of an acid-base reaction.)
The reactants already show up in your answer window. Do not erase them, but add the products to complete the reaction. If you accidentally erase the reactants you have to add them back so the answer contains the complete reaction.
In entering formulas in the response, type atoms in upper case, subscript numbers just as numbers, superscript numbers and charges preceded by ^, and a space between the products and the + between them. For example, CH
