Buffer solutions are used by the human body to maintain a constant pH for biochemical processes such as enzyme activity. In addition, buffer is used in baby shampoo and soap to maintain the pH, thereby preventing rashes on the baby. Given an ethanoic acid, CH;COOH with Ka = 1.85 x 10. %3D Calculate the pH of a buffer solution containing 0.150 mol/L ethanoic acid and 0.150 mol/L sodium ethanoate using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. Give the proportion (ratio) for [CH;COO-] : [CH;COOH] with the same concentration that we should mix to produce a buffer solution of pH 5.00. (a) (b)
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.
