I am having trouble with understanding this question: Calculate the pH of a solution containing only hydrogen sulphide and water where: [H₂S] = 10-2 and [S²] = 10-7 In this situation, is water actually part of the equation or is it represented by H₂S (aq), with H* and HS as the products? I can only find conflicting solutions to this problem that are solved by means outside of what is in my course material.
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.

If someone would be able to provide an explanation alongside a solution to this
problem that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Faa34516e-973a-4b3c-afd7-4c325f9ef3f5%2Fae088fbb-575c-4c54-bcfe-b1abbafc7e5c%2Fhtg5xs_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
