The Bronsted acid-base reaction is given.
The two bases present in the equilibrium system are acetonitrile anion (-CH2CN) and hydroxide (OH-). The stronger base is hydroxide (OH-).
The conjugate acid of acetonitrile anion is acetonitrile (CH3CN) and the conjugate acid of hydroxide is water (HOH).
The direction of the equilibrium reaction can be predicted by comparing the pKa values of the conjugate acids. An acid-base reaction proceeds in the direction of the weaker acid, i.e, the equilibrium favors the side containing a weaker acid. This is due to the fact that a weaker acid is lower in energy (more stable) than a stronger acid and equilibrium always favors the more stable molecules or compounds.
The pKa values are
HOH = 14.0
CH3CN = 25.0
The pKa of an acid is defined as
pKa = -log Ka
The higher the pKa , the lower is the Ka and consequently, weaker is the acid. Therefore, a lower value of pKa denotes a stronger acid. Thus, HOH, having a lower pKa than CH3CN, is a stronger acid. Thus, a stronger acid reacts with a base to produce a weaker acid. Consequently, the reaction is product-favored, i.e, the equilibrium favors the products and the reaction proceeds to the right. Therefore, the products predominate at equilibrium.
