Compare the size of the change in pH value when HCl and NaOH are added to water vs. the size of the change in pH value for the standard reference buffer. Explain why the change for water vs. buffer was the same or different in size. Which household substances behaved as buffers? Briefly explain your reasoning. Study the Lewis structure of a generic amino acid shown below. Identify the part of a generic amino acid that reacts
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.
- Compare the size of the change in pH value when HCl and NaOH are added to water vs. the size of the change in pH value for the standard reference buffer. Explain why the change for water vs. buffer was the same or different in size.
- Which household substances behaved as buffers? Briefly explain your reasoning.
- Study the Lewis structure of a generic amino acid shown below. Identify the part of a generic amino acid that reacts with base and the part that reacts with acid. Briefly explain your answer. Hint: Draw Lewis structures for ammonia (NH 3) and acetic acid (CH 3COOH).
