I). HCl + NaF ---- HF + NaCl
It will proceed in forward direction, because HCl is stronger acid than HF.
II. AlBr3 + 3 NaF ---- AlF3 + 3 NaBr
It will proceed in forward direction, because F- is hard base and it can form strong bond with hard acid according to Pearson Hard-Soft acid base theory (Hard acids prefer to bind with hard bases and soft acids prefer to bind with soft bases). Between Na+ and Al3+, Al3+ is hard acid. So AlF3 is more stable than NaF.
III. Ti(OMe)4 + 2 TiBr2 ---- TiBr4 + 2 Ti(OMe)2
MeO- is hard base and Ti4+ is hard acid. So this reaction proceed in backward direction as Ti(OMe)4 is more stable.
IV. SrS + HgO ---- SrO + HgS
HgS is more stable as Hg2+ is soft acid and S2- is soft base. So this reaction proceeds in forward direction.
V. [Pt(CN)4]2- + 4 NaCl ---- [PtCl4]2- + 4 NaCN
Pt2+ is soft acid so it can form strong complex with soft base like CN-. This reaction proceeds in backward direction.
VI. CoCl2 + CdI2 ---- CoI2 + CdCl2
Cd2+ is larger ion so it is soft acid. I- is softer base than Cl-. so CdI2 is more stable hence this reaction proceeds in backward direction.
VII. [Ag(NH3)2]NO3 + 2 NaSCN ---- NaNO3 + Na[Ag(SCN)2]+ 2 NH3
SCN- is soft base and Ag+ is soft acid so This reaction proceeds in forward direction.
