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.
![### Arranging Solutions by pH
**Assuming equal concentrations, arrange these solutions by pH, from highest to lowest.**
#### Solutions List
- **HCN(aq)**
- **HI(aq)**
- **NH₃(aq)**
- **Sr(OH)₂(aq)**
- **RbOH(aq)**
For a better understanding of how to arrange these solutions by pH, consider the following points:
1. **RbOH (Rubidium Hydroxide)**: A strong base which should have the highest pH.
2. **Sr(OH)₂ (Strontium Hydroxide)**: Another strong base, which also results in a high pH, but slightly lower than RbOH because alkali metal hydroxides are generally stronger.
3. **NH₃ (Ammonia)**: A weak base, resulting in a moderately high pH.
4. **HCN (Hydrogen Cyanide)**: A weak acid, resulting in a slightly acidic pH.
5. **HI (Hydroiodic Acid)**: A strong acid, which should have the lowest pH.
### Answer Bank
The rank from highest to lowest pH will look like this:
1. **RbOH(aq)**
2. **Sr(OH)₂(aq)**
3. **NH₃(aq)**
4. **HCN(aq)**
5. **HI(aq)**](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fdc325aa0-3b4d-4100-824a-15814ab6662e%2F6ffd109b-bf45-4a5c-98c1-cc45f28d05fe%2Fyhr12b_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
