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.
![**Task: Determine the pH of a Buffer Solution**
To determine the pH of a buffer solution, you need to construct an ICE (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) table, write the equilibrium constant expression, and utilize this information to compute the pH. Follow these instructions and complete Parts 1-3 before submitting your answer.
### Instructions
**Step 2: Set up the Ka expression**
- The acid dissociation constant, Ka, for HC₇H₅O₂ is given as 6.3 × 10⁻⁵.
- Based on the ICE table you constructed in Part 1 and the definition of Ka, you'll need to set up the expression for Ka. This is necessary to determine the unknown value.
- Ensure each participant in the reaction is represented by one tile. Do not combine the terms.
#### Expression Format
\[ K_a = \frac{[\text{Products}]}{[\text{Reactants}]} \]
\[ Ka = \frac{\text{[H⁺][C₇H₅O₂⁻]}}{\text{[HC₇H₅O₂]}} = 6.3 \times 10^{-5} \]
### Tiles to Enter
Below are the available concentrations or expressions you can use to fill in the Ka expression:
- [0]
- [21.5]
- [37.7]
- [0.176]
- [0.261]
- [0.880]
- [1.31]
- [0.178]
- [0.888]
- [x]
- [2x]
- [21.5 - x]
- [37.7 + x]
- [0.176 - x]
- [0.261 + x]
- [0.880 - x]
- [1.31 + x]
- [0.178 + x]
- [0.888 + x]
Use these tiles to correctly form the expression that represents the equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products in the Ka formula.
