Formic acid owes its name to the fact that some ant (fourmi) species have specialised soldiers that defend their nest by spraying this compound. Its acid ionization constant of 1.8 × 10-4. HCOOH(aq) ⇌ HCOO-(aq) + H+(aq) Use the information provided to obtain the pH (to 1 decimal figure) of a 0.5 mol/L aqueous solution of formic acid. Show all work. An IRE or IREC table is not required but recommended.
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.
