A student found two bottles of compounds with missing labels. The compounds are either Benzyl chloride or Bromobenzene. To figure out the contents of each bottle, the student put 2 drops of each compound into separate test tubes labeled X and Y and added 1 mL of a mixture of NaI and acetone to each tube. After 45 seconds, the student observed a white color precipitate in tube X, while there was no precipitate formed in tube Y. What compound (Benzyl chloride or Bromobenzene) does tube X contain? Why
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.
