- Curved arrows are always Source ⇒ Sink
- Curved arrows represent the movement of electrons. Never atoms.
- Acid-Base reactions always favor the formation of weaker acids and bases, since they are under equilibrium control.
The larger the difference of in the resultant acid and the initial acid (with the resultant’s being lower) (i.e if is more negative) the position of equilibrium will greatly favor the formation of products.
- Water-Insoluble carboxylic acids can dissolve in aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide by reacting to form water-soluble sodium salts
