4.26 Acetic acid, \( \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH} \), is a weak organic acid, \( \mathrm{p} K_{\mathrm{a}} 4.76 \). Write an equation for the equilibrium reaction of acetic acid with each base. Which equilibria lie considerably toward the left? Which lie considerably toward the right? (a) \( \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} \) \( \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}+\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COOH} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{COONa}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{CO}_{3} \) How would I compare pKa values if carbonic acid isn't in the list?
