0.250 M of NaOH is used to carry out the titration of a weak diprotuce solid. It is used until the second equivalence point has been surpassed. The equivalence points are easily seen at 12mL and 24 ml, but the mass of the unknown solid was never documented. Using pKa values, the identity of the unknown is presumed to be ascorbic acid. How many grams of ascorbic acid was there to begin with? (For reference, ascorbic acid's molar mass is 176.12 g mol, the pKa1 is 4.10, and the pKa2 is 11.79)
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 equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
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.
