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 5: In each pair, which species is a stronger base? Justify your answer.**
**Molecular Structures:**
1. **First Pair:**
- Left Structure: A secondary amine with an isopropyl group attached to the nitrogen.
- Right Structure: A nitrogen anion with an isopropyl group attached, indicating a lone pair on nitrogen.
2. **Second Pair:**
- Left Structure: An ester with a trifluoromethyl group attached to the carbonyl carbon, and a methoxy group on the other side.
- Right Structure: An ether with an isopropyl group attached to the oxygen.
**Explanation:**
For the first pair, the species with the nitrogen anion is generally a stronger base than the neutral amine due to the presence of a negative charge on the nitrogen, which increases its electron-donating ability.
For the second pair, the ether (right structure) is expected to be a stronger base compared to the ester with the trifluoromethyl group. The electron-withdrawing effect of the fluorine atoms on the ester reduces its basicity, while the ether can donate electrons more readily.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F5cd32185-e3a9-442c-b80f-f1be3191880e%2Fdd545289-5668-4a79-994e-309c0ff4ae0b%2Fq4v0ifb_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)

Bases are the substances that can donate OH- or accept H+. According to Lewis acid and base theory a base is the compound that can donate a lone pair of electron.
