Chemistry In my picture, I used NaH to "deprotonate" the hydroxyl groups in my cellulose monomers in order to ionally attach positively charged lipids to make it a waterproof "T-shirt". However, I believe the NaH is too strong of a base, and in reality it would deprotonate all the hydroxyl groups and ruin the intermolecular hydrogen bonds. Which base should I use instead in order to preserve the intermolecular hydrogen bonding? I only want to deprotonate the surface to attach the lipids, as demonstrated in the picture.
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.
