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.

Explain the difference in pK₂ values. SH OH | || pK₂ 10 pka 18 O II is more acidic because oxygen is more electronegative than the sulfur in I. Il is more acidic because of the inductive effect of the oxygen atom on the proton. I is more acidic because the anion formed is on a more polarizable atom than the anion formed from II. I is more acidic because the larger sulfur atom causes more steric crowding than the oxygen in II.
