A solution of sodium chlorite is prepared using 0.38 mol L1 NaOH as the solvent. The pK, of chlorous acid is 2. The concentration of sodium chlorite after mixing, before any reaction takes place is 0.24 mol L1. Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of all acid species: [ HCIO2 ], [ CIO2 ], the pH and the pOH in the solution. Some assumptions may not work, on the other hand, if you do not make the correc assumptions first, the quadratic formula will give you the wrong answer. [ HCIO2 ) mol L'1, [ CIO2 ) - mol L1, pH = pOH
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.
