Identify the Lewis acid and base in the following reaction. Using curved arrow formalism, show the transfer of electrons and the products formed. HCI + NH3 --->
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.
- Lewis acid is a species which is electron deficient in nature and therefore will accept a pair of electron from electron rich species.
- Lewis base is a species which is electron rich in nature and therefore will donate a pair of electron to electron deficient species.
- Therefore, overall movement/transfer of electrons occurs from a lewis base to lewis acid.
- HCl is Hydrochloric acid.
- NH3 is Ammonia molecule.
