15. The pka of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) is 3.5. The pH of gastric juice in the human stomach is about 2-3, and that in the small intestine is about 8.0. Aspirin will be A. Unionized in the small intestine and the stomach. B. Completely ionized in the small intestine and the stomach. C. lonized in the stomach and almost unionized in the small intestine. D. Ionized in the small intestine and almost unionized in the stomach.
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.
