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.
Arrange the molecules and ions in set in order of increasing acidity (from least acidic to most acidic).
Acidity of organic compounds can be explained on the basis of how easily the compound can release its acidic proton as well as the stability of the intermediate i.e. carbanion. The more stable is the conjugate base higher is the acidity of the compound. Acetic acid after losing a proton forms acetate ion which is stabilized by resonance and has two resonance structure. Phenol loses proton to from phenoxide ion which is also stabilized by four resonance structures. However, in case of acetate ion two resonance structure are equivalent , and acidic character for equivalent structure is greater. Thus, acidity of acetic acid is greater than phenol.
