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.
According to Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance i.e. when dissolved in water gives H+ ions . Thus Greater the number of H+ ions produced in the aqueous solution, the stronger is the acid.
Greater is the dissociation constant of the weak acid (Ka), greater is the amount of H+ (aq) produced, therefore stronger is the acid. Thus, Ka values give a measure of the relative strengths of the weak acids.
& Also pKa = - log ( Ka )
Also pKb = - log ( Kb )
=> Higher the Ka value of acid , lower will be the value of pKa of acid & similarly higher the Kb ( base dissociation constant) value of base , lower will be the value of pKb of base.
& Also strong acid have weak conjugate base & weak acid have strong conjugate base.
