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.
In equilibrium, label the stronger acid, the stronger base, the weaker acid, and the weaker base. Also estimate the position of equilibrium.
The given HCl (act as strong acid) has acidic proton, the ethoxide ion act as strong base because the negative charge is stabilized by chlorine atom (more electronegative than oxygen). Thus, ethoxide is a strong base and HCl is a strong acid.
