Based on the factors that influence conjugate-base stability, determine the position of the equilibrium (Keq) for the following acid-base reaction. ethoxy ion phenolate ion phenol ethanol a) To the left. The phenolate ion is stabilized by resonance whereas the ethoxy ion is not. d) To the right. The phenolate ion is stabilized by resonance whereas the ethoxy ion is not. c) To the left. The ethoxy ion is stabilized by the inductive effect whereas the phenolate ion is not. b) To the right. The phenolate ion is stabilized by the hybridization whereas the ethoxy ion is not.
