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.
![### The pH Scale
The pH scale is used to measure the acidity or basicity of a solution, a key concept in chemistry and biology. The pH of a solution is determined by the concentration of hydronium ions \([H_3O^+]\) present.
#### Key Definitions:
- **Acidic solution**: pH < 7
- **Neutral solution**: pH = 7
- **Basic solution**: pH > 7
### Mathematical Formulas:
- **pH = -log\([H_3O^+]\)**
- **[H_3O^+] = 10^-pH**
As pH decreases, acidity increases. Conversely, as pH increases, acidity decreases.
### Graph Description:
The diagram shown below the text is a visual representation of the pH scale:
- **0 to 7 (acidic range)**:
- **Stomach acid**: pH close to 1
- **Lemon juice, vinegar, soft drinks, beer**: pH around 2-4
- **Wine, tomatoes**: pH around 4
- **Black coffee**: pH around 5
- **7 (neutral)**:
- **Pure water**: pH 7
- **7 to 14 (basic range)**:
- **Human blood**: pH around 7.4
- **Seawater**: pH around 8
- **Baking soda**: pH around 9
- **Milk of magnesia**: pH around 10
- **Ammonia solution, household bleach**: pH around 11-12
- **Oven cleaner**: pH around 13-14
This diagram helps visualize where common substances fall on the pH scale.
### Part A - Calculating pH
**Problem:** What is the pH of an aqueous solution with the hydronium ion concentration \([H_3O^+] = 2 x 10^{-14} \text{M}\)?
