4. You may need Table 7.2 (pg 202) or Appendix 5 (A22) in your textbook to answer the following questions. Only legible answers that fit in the box(es) will be considered. a. Which is the stronger base, Cl or H₂O? Assume CI is the conjugate base of HCI. b. Which is the stronger base, H₂O or NO₂ c. Which is the stronger base, CN or OC6H5?
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.

Weakest bases
INTERACTIVE EXAMPLE 7.1
Relative Base Strength
Using Table 7.2, arrange the following species according to their strength as
bases: H₂O, F-, Cl-, NO₂, and CN-.
Solution Remember that water is a stronger base than the conjugate base of
strong acid but a weaker base than the conjugate base of a weak acid. This rull
leads to the following order:
Cl- <H₂O < conjugate bases of weak acids
Strongest bases
Increasing acid strength
We can order the remaining conjugate bases by recognizing that the streng
of an acid is inversely related to the strength of its conjugate base. From Tab
7.2 we have
Ka for HF > K₂ for HNO₂ > Ka for HCN
Thus the base strengths increase as follows:](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2af39711-f9cc-45d1-8823-e5c52f0219bd%2F2f77cecf-454d-429c-9140-d5cb081249c9%2F6ebzkgc_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
