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 equilibri…
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.

Answer to Problem 14A

That compound, which is not completely ionized by donating the one proton is said to be a weak acid. The anion of the acid attracts the hydrogen ion which means that acid is weaker while the conjugate base is stronger.

Explanation of Solution

By donating the proton, a compound forms the hydrogen ion when not dissolved completely in the solution. It is said to be strong acid. In the case of a strong acid, the acid is weaker while the conjugate base is stronger due to the attraction of the hydrogen ion by the anion of the acid.

Conclusion

Due to the attraction of hydrogen ion by the acid’s anion, the acid is weaker but the conjugate base is stronger.
