1. Determine the pH when 5.89 g of sodium acetate is dissolved in 190 mL of water. Ka of acetic Na + OOCCH, (NaOOCCH₂) acid is 5.56 10-¹⁰ NaOOCCH₂ OOCCH3 + H₂O HOOCCH₂ + OH-
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.
![**Weak Base Equilibria**
1. **Determine the pH when 5.89 g of sodium acetate (NaOOCCH₃) is dissolved in 190 mL of water.** Ka of acetic acid is \(5.56 \times 10^{-10}\).
\[ \text{NaOOCCH}_3 \rightarrow \text{Na}^+ + \text{OOCCH}_3^- \]
\[ \text{OOCCH}_3^- + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightleftharpoons \text{HOOCCH}_3 + \text{OH}^- \]
**Explanation:**
- **First Reaction:** Sodium acetate (\(\text{NaOOCCH}_3\)) dissociates in water to produce sodium ions (\(\text{Na}^+\)) and acetate ions (\(\text{OOCCH}_3^-\)).
- **Second Reaction:** The acetate ion (\(\text{OOCCH}_3^-\)) acts as a weak base, reacting with water to form acetic acid (\(\text{HOOCCH}_3\)) and hydroxide ions (\(\text{OH}^-\)). This establishes an equilibrium state for the weak base.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F4ef19cdf-d917-4e85-90d1-e182276b5042%2Fd94707d4-98d6-4517-8968-b6d18d26d0f0%2Fx2rv7zl_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
