Concept explainers
Explain why equilibrium arrows are used in the ionization equations for some acids.
Interpretation:
The use of equilibrium arrows in ionization equations for some acids is to beexplained.
Concept introduction:
Equilibrium arrows are used in the equations in both reactants and products are present in the solution.
Answer to Problem 66A
Equilibrium arrows are used in ionization equations for weak acids because weak acids don’t ionize completely. There exists equilibrium between ionized products and unionized reactants.
Explanation of Solution
That’s why Equilibrium arrow is used.
Thus, equilibrium arrows are used in ionization equations for weak acids.
