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.
![**Question 2:**
In the lab, you have a beaker containing 40.0 mL of 0.50 M HNO₂. If you add 20.0 mL of 1.0 M CsOH, what will the pH and pOH be?
**Explanation:**
This question involves an acid-base reaction. You are given a volume and concentration of a weak acid (HNO₂) and a strong base (CsOH) and are tasked with calculating the resulting pH and pOH after the base is added.
1. **Determine moles of each reactant:**
- Moles of HNO₂ = 0.040 L × 0.50 mol/L = 0.020 moles
- Moles of CsOH = 0.020 L × 1.0 mol/L = 0.020 moles
2. **Reaction:**
- Since CsOH is a strong base, it will react completely with HNO₂, a weak acid.
- The equation for the reaction: HNO₂ + CsOH → CsNO₂ + H₂O
3. **Determine the remaining moles:**
- Since moles of HNO₂ = moles of CsOH, they will completely neutralize each other:
- Remaining moles of HNO₂ = 0
- Remaining moles of CsOH = 0
4. **Resulting solution:**
- Since both reactants are used, the resulting solution is neutral.
5. **Calculate the pH and pOH:**
- A neutral solution at 25°C has a pH of 7 and a pOH of 7.
The problem demonstrates how to compute the pH and pOH after a neutralization reaction between a weak acid and a strong base.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F485c3033-fba7-4e27-bc3f-5d79c440a1f8%2Faeb0db2f-ef5c-4a24-9e37-8c23f2350460%2Fwhvvhod_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
