In a Bronsted acid-base reaction, the stronger acid reacts with the stronger base to produce a weaker acid and a weaker base. Thus, whether a reaction “goes” or “does not go” can be used to determine the relative strength of the Bronsted acids and bases in the reaction. From the data below, determine the order of the strengths of the three Bronsted acids. Reaction 1: NH4 + + (CH3)3N → (CH3)3NH+ + NH3 goes Reaction 2: H2TeO3 + (CH3)3N → (CH3)3NH+ + HTeO3 - goes Reaction 3: NH4 + + HTeO3 - → H2TeO3 + NH3 does not go
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.
