2. The oxides of Group 1A and 2A metals – like their corresponding hydroxide salts – are strong bases. a) The reaction of lithium oxide with water is given. Balance the equation by adding coefficients. Li20 (s) + H20 (1) · Li* (aq) + OH (aq) b) Based on your understanding of both the Arrhenius and Bronsted-Lowry acid/base models, is Li20 an Arrhenius base or a Bronsted-Lowry base? Briefly explain, with definition to support your answer.
Ionic Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium and ionic equilibrium are two major concepts in chemistry. Ionic equilibrium deals with the equilibrium involved in an ionization process while chemical equilibrium deals with the equilibrium during a chemical change. Ionic equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
Arrhenius Acid
Arrhenius acid act as a good electrolyte as it dissociates to its respective ions in the aqueous solutions. Keeping it similar to the general acid properties, Arrhenius acid also neutralizes bases and turns litmus paper into red.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.
