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.
![### Identifying Brønsted Acids and Bases in a Reaction
In this exercise, you will label each reactant and product in the given reaction as a Brønsted acid or base.
#### Reaction Equation:
\[ \text{HCN} + \text{NH}_2^- \rightleftharpoons \text{CN}^- + \text{NH}_3 \]
Use the provided answer bank to classify each species.
##### Answer Bank:
- **acid**
- **base**
Place the appropriate label under each reactant and product in the reaction equation.
**Instructions:**
1. Identify the donor and acceptor of protons (H+).
2. Label HCN, NH₂⁻, CN⁻, and NH₃ as either an acid or a base.
**Reaction Analysis:**
- **HCN** donates a proton (becoming CN⁻).
- **NH₂⁻** accepts a proton (becoming NH₃).
By labeling, you will enhance your understanding of Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory.
**Note:**
This classification is fundamental in understanding how acids and bases interact in chemical reactions.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F21c88a28-f807-464d-9079-e9051da21a49%2Fd40dad40-cf1c-4f31-9cf5-0f2db2372fe1%2Ftwmb4ug_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
