Concept explainers

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.

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.

Textbook Question

Chapter 17, Problem 4CR

How is the strength of an acid related to the position of its ionization equilibrium? Write the equations for the dissociation (ionization) of HCI, HNO₃, and HClO₄in water. Since all these acids are strong acids, what does this indicate about the basicity of the Cl^-, NO 3 − , and ClO 4 − ions? Are aqueous solutions of NaCl, NaNO₃, or NaClO₄basic?

_______6. Na2 CO3 forms alkaline solution when dissolved in water. Why? Because water hydrolysis produces hydroxide CO32- ions reacts with H+ from water to produce HCO3- Na2 CO3 dissociates completely to produce CO32- ions CO32- ions reacts with water to produce carbonic acid _______7. The buffer solution maintains pH by some events except? The addition of a little acid The addition of a little base Addition of water The addition of excess acid _______8. Which of the following is TRUE about buffer solution? pH of buffer solution will never change despite addition of small amount of base or acid Buffer can be made by mixing strong acid and salt ot its conjugate base or by mixing strong base with salt of its conjugate acid Buffer has acid and base components that can work specifically to resist pH charge The closer the ratio of a concentration, weak acid/base to the concentration of salt of its conjugate base/acid, the less effective the buffer to resist pH charge _______9.…
