Indicate whether each of the following compounds will gave an acidic, basic or neutral solution when dissolved in water. Clear All ammonium iodide barium nitrite sodium iodide calcium bromide The pH will be less than 7. The pH will be approximately equal to 7. The pH will be greater than 7.
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.

![The pH of Aqueous Salt Solutions
When a salt dissolves in water it may cause the pH of the solution to change. In order to determine whether the resulting solution will be
acidic, basic, or approximately neutral, you must examine first how the cation interacts with water, and then how the anion interacts
with water.
If, by interacting with water, a WEAK acid or base can form, the salt changes the pH of the solution. The driving force for the reaction is
the formation of the weak acid or base.
Cations of weak bases are ACIDIC. They donate H* to water making the weak base and H3Oo* which reduces the pH of the solution:
NH,* (aq)
+ H,O
NH3(aq)
H,O* (aq)
--->
Donates H*
weak base
ACIDIC solution
Cations of strong bases are NEUTRAL. They do not interact with water:
Na* (aq) + H,0 ---> No Reaction
Anions of weak acids are BASIC. They accept H* from water making the weak acid and OH which increases the pH of the solution:
F (aq)
+ H20
HF(aq)
OH (aq)
Ассepts H*
weak acid
BASIC solution
Anions of strong acids are NEUTRAL. They do not interact with water:
CI" (aq) + H,0
--->
No Reaction
Most anions of polyprotic acids are BASIC, accepting H* from water, although some act as acids and donate a proto
