16. (a) Predict which proton in ascorbic acid (vitamin C) would be the most acidic. Explain using the stability of the conjugate base produced by removing each proton. НО. HO HO 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.
Since you have asked multiple question, we will solve the first question for you. If you want any specific question to be solved then please specify the question number or post only that question.
The acidic strength of a proton can be determined in terms of the stability of the conjugate base. The conjugate base is the molecule obtained by removing the acidic proton. The more the resonating structures for a conjugate base, more will be the stability and more will be the acidic character of that proton. Most acidic protons are the ones whose conjugate bases have highly resonance stabilized.
