Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The solution with lowest pH and the solution with largest dissociation of B should be determined from the given data and pictures.
Concept introduction:
From the Lewis concept, an acid is a substance which can donate an electron pair while a base is a substance which can accept an electron pair.
While from the Bronsted-Lowrey theory, the acid-base remains in the form of conjugate pair.
A conjugate acid is a base which accepts an H+ ion while a conjugate base is an acid which donates the H+ ion.
For example:
Ammonia (
Similarly,
From the theory, conjugate acid of a weak base is strong while conjugate acid of a strong base is weak and vice-versa.
The pH is the measurement scale of acidity of any solution which is obtained by measuring the concentration of
