Equilibria — practice question

In a mixture of concentrated nitric and sulfuric acids, the equilibrium shown below is established. $\text{HNO}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightleftharpoons \text{H}_2\text{NO}_3^+ + \text{HSO}_4^-$ Which row gives the correct description of how each substance behaves in the equilibrium mixture?

  • AHNO$_3$ acid, H$_2$SO$_4$ acid, H$_2$NO$_3^+$ base, HSO$_4^-$ base
  • BHNO$_3$ acid, H$_2$SO$_4$ base, H$_2$NO$_3^+$ base, HSO$_4^-$ acid
  • CHNO$_3$ base, H$_2$SO$_4$ acid, H$_2$NO$_3^+$ acid, HSO$_4^-$ base
  • DHNO$_3$ base, H$_2$SO$_4$ acid, H$_2$NO$_3^+$ base, HSO$_4^-$ acid
