In the equation, HF is the acid and HSO3^- is the base.
The conjugate acid of HF is F^- and the conjugate base of HSO3^- is H2SO3.
To determine if the product or reactant is favored, we would need to compare the relative strengths of the acids and bases involved. In this case, HF is a stronger acid than H2SO3, meaning that it is more likely to donate a proton. Therefore, the product side of the equation (F^- + H2SO3) is favored.
In the following equation was is the acid, base, conjugate acid and conjugate base
HF(aq) + HSO3^-(aq) ⇌ F^-(aq) + H2SO3(aq)
Is this product or reactant favoured?
