neu as Question 8.07 Carbonic acid is a diprotic acid while formic acid is not. Why? (It may be useful to draw the structure for HCO2H.) What would have to happen for formic acid to be diprotic? How is that different from carbonic acid?
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.
![revisited because of the important role they play in physiological systems.
The most common Bronsted-Lowry base in aqueous solutions is hydroxide. Hydroxide can be added to
water in the form of a number of different salts like NaOH, KOH or LIOH. Additional bases will be
identified in the next section on the measurement of acidity. Some of these bases will be familiar since
they are the anionic conjugate bases of some of the weak acids considered in this section.
