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.
![**Instruction:**
Identify each reactant as a Lewis acid or a Lewis base, and then draw the products that result from the following coordination step. Be sure to include all lone pairs of electrons and formal charges.
**Diagram Explanation:**
In the image, there is a reaction involving two main species:
1. **Acetone Molecule:**
- Structure: The acetone is shown with a central carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen (carbonyl group) and singly bonded to two CH₃ groups.
- Lone Pairs: The oxygen atom in the carbonyl group has two lone pairs of electrons.
- Role: The oxygen atom of the acetone acts as a Lewis base, as it donates an electron pair.
2. **Boron Trifluoride (BF₃):**
- Structure: Boron is at the center bonded to three fluorine atoms.
- Nature: Boron in BF₃ has an incomplete octet, making it electron-deficient.
- Role: BF₃ acts as a Lewis acid, as it accepts an electron pair.
**Reaction Description:**
- The reaction shows an arrow indicating the movement of a lone pair from the oxygen atom of acetone to the boron atom in boron trifluoride.
- This is a typical coordination step where the Lewis base (oxygen of acetone) donates a pair of electrons to the Lewis acid (boron in BF₃).
Following the coordination, a complex is formed in which the oxygen-boron bond is created. The lone pairs and formal charges should be carefully represented to show the completed octet for boron in the final structure.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F1a2e06cd-89b1-4949-854a-ccc1923a28fc%2F184d5d28-09cb-44c8-af1e-69d81fd5a345%2F69z2iwp_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
