Consider the following hypothetical acid-base reaction.
A(aq) + B(aq) C(aq) + D(aq)

Question 13 options:
The position of the equilibrium shifts from left to right
The position of the equilibrium shifts from right to left
The position of the equilibrium doesn’t move at all.
The position of the equilibrium shifts randomly.
What's the question. And put an arrow in the equation. With no arrow we don't know left side from right side.
the arrow is after b(aq)
To determine the position of the equilibrium in an acid-base reaction, you need to assess the relative strengths of the acids and bases involved. In this reaction, A and B are weak acids, while C and D are strong acids.
In general, when a weak acid reacts with a strong acid, or a weak base reacts with a strong base, the equilibrium position will shift to the side of the stronger acid or base. This means that in this reaction, the position of the equilibrium will shift from left to right.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
The position of the equilibrium shifts from left to right.
