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.
According to Bronsted Lowry theory,
Acid is the proton donor and Base is the proton acceptor
The conjugate pair of acid-base is differ by proton (H+ ion).
If the acid is strong, its conjugate base will be weak and vice-versa
We know that
the strength of the acid is measured by its Ka value.
Larger the Ka value, stronger is the acid.
We know that
pKa = -logKa.
If Ka is larger, pKa will be smaller.
that is lower the pKa, stronger is the acid and weaker is its conjugate base.
Hence for the strongest base, the pKa value of the conjugate acid should be larger.
