Cesium buffer helps in determining easily ionizable elements in ICP-MS and ICP-OES. But how? Cesium is easily ionizable element it produces more electrons in the plasma. In principle it should also suppress the ionization of metal of our interest. In that case Cesium buffers interferes our analysis. I don’t understand why Cesium helps to reduce the ionization of sodium and potassium, not the ionization of metal of our interest. Can you please explain how cesium helps to reduce the ionization of only a specific metal not the metal of interest?
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.
