Indicate using true or false for each of the following statements: 1. pKa always larger than pKb. 2. The higher pKa the higher acidity.. 3. pKw always equal to 10-^14.
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.
Indicate using true or false for each of the following statements:
1. pKa always larger than pKb.
2. The higher pKa the higher acidity..
3. pKw always equal to 10-^14.
4. Compounds might have more than pKa.
5. We usually prefer to prepare buffers from alkaline origin compounds.
6. The pH of a buffer solution containing .1 M acetic acid and 0.1 M sodium acetate? (Ka for acetic acid = 1.75 ×10-5) is 3.9.
7. The pH of a solution containing ephedrine 0.1 M and ephedrine HCI 0.01 M? (Kb for ephedrine = 2.3 x 10-5) is 7.99.
8. The maximum buffer capacity for solutions can be achieved when the required pH double than pKa of the acid..
9. When one of the buffer components is depleted completely the solution lose its buffering capacity and can no longer resist the change in pH.
10. At a hydrogen ion concentration of 1.75 x 10-5, what is the capacity of a buffer containing 0.10 mole each of acetic acid and sodium acetate per liter of solution? (Ka = 1.75 x 10-5 ) is 9.11.
