CH3CH2COOH Draw the Lewis structure of the acid and mark the acidic hydrogen with an asterisk (*). Draw a Lewis structure of the conjugate base of the acid. Suppose the acid is neutralized with a strong base. a) Which of the two structures you drew in 6 and 7 would be the predominant form of the species at a pH well above that at the equivalence point? b) Which of the two structures would be the predominant form of the species at a very low pH, well below that at the equivalence point and similar to the pH near the start of the titration? c) At what point in the titration, if any, would there be equal amounts of the two forms?
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.
