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.
Acid-base catalysis mechanism and an example
The species that donates a proton is known as Bronsted Lowry acid. The species that gains a proton is known as Bronsted Lowry base.
The acceleration of the chemical reaction through the addition of a base or an acid is termed as acid-base catalysis. In acid-base catalysis, the base or acid itself does not get consumed in the reaction.
The mechanism of an acid-base catalysis reaction can be explained in terms of the Bronsted-Lowry acid and base concept as one step requires the initial transfer of the protons from the reactant to the basic catalyst or from an acidic catalyst to reactant. In other terms, electrons are donated by the base and are accepted by an acid.
