For the reaction CH

_3

COOH(aq) + NH

_3

(aq) ⇌ CH

_3

COO

^−

(aq) + NH

_4^+

(aq) which expression gives the equilibrium constant

K

for the reaction in terms of

K_a

(CH

_3

COOH),

K_b

(NH

_3

), and

K_w

(25 °C)? (a)

K = K_a\,K_b

(b)

K = \dfrac{K_a K_b}{K_w}

(c)

K = \dfrac{K_w}{K_a K_b}

(d)

K = \dfrac{K_a}{K_b}
