The acid dissociation constant Ka equals 1.26 × 10–2 for HSO4– and is 5.6 × 10–10 for NH4+. 

Which statement about the following equilibrium is correct? 

HSO4–(aq) + NH3(aq) Picture SO42–(aq) + NH4+(aq) 

A. This reaction is impossible to predict, since the strong acid and the weak base appear on the same side of the equation. 

B. The reactants will be favored because ammonia is a stronger base than the sulfate anion. 

C. The initial concentrations of the hydrogen sulfate ion and ammonia must be known before any prediction can be made. 

D. Neither reactants nor products will be favored because all of the species are weak acids or bases. 

E. The products will be favored because the hydrogen sulfate ion is a stronger acid than the ammonium ion.
