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.
![**Question 1: Label the conjugate acid-base pairs in each equation.**
a. **HI + NH₃ ⇌ NH₄⁺ + I⁻**
b. **HCOOH + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + HCOO⁻**
c. **HSO₄⁻ + H₂O ⇌ H₂SO₄ + OH⁻**
*Instructions for Solving:*
To identify the conjugate acid-base pairs in each equation, follow these steps:
1. Identify the acid and base on the reactant side of the equation.
2. Determine the corresponding conjugate base (for the acid) and conjugate acid (for the base) on the product side of the equation.
**Example Explanation:**
**For equation (a):**
- **HI** acts as an acid because it donates a proton (H⁺) to **NH₃**.
- **NH₃** acts as a base because it accepts a proton (H⁺) from **HI**.
- **NH₄⁺** is the conjugate acid of the base **NH₃**.
- **I⁻** is the conjugate base of the acid **HI**.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F1e9bfdf7-5308-4b01-ad19-e254164241da%2Ff842ab38-b950-4d9e-9658-3ca70f8dc408%2Fi754ka_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
