Calculate the concentrations of the weak acid and conjugate base for the best possible buffer at pH 3.50 knowing that the concentration of the more concentrated species between the two will be 0.2 M. Choose the buffer system you think would be best between the following three. You will need to look up literature values for the Ka/pKa on your own. Remember that a strong buffer has similar concentrations of the buffering components. Formic acid/formate Acetic acid/acetate Hypobromous acid/Hypobromite
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.
