Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The acidity (pKa) values and chemical equilibrium should be identified for the given molecules by using its structures.

Concept Introduction:

Acid-Base Reaction: The equal ratio of acid and base are place together, two molecules react to neutralize and produces salt. The hydrogen ions are cation of the combines with the hydroxyl anions of the base to from water. The compound formed by the cation of the anion of the acid is called a salt.

Chemical equilibrium: The term applied to reversible chemical reactions. It is the point at which the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. When the equilibrium is achieved; the concentrations of reactant and products become constant.

Strength pKa: This is measure for different acid strength. It depends on the identity and chemical properties of the various mineral acids and measure of hydrogens ions. For example more acidic compounds easily a proton is lost, thus the lower pH values.
