Our first metal is a chunk of solid calcium metal. When we place it in unheated distilled water, we observe a vigorous chemical reaction. Bubbles of hydrogen gas are created, the calcium dissolves, and the resulting solution tests as strongly basic (which tells us that hydroxide is now present at high concentration). We also place it in a highly acidic solution, and see a vigorous reaction there as well. Select a balanced ionic equation that describes the reaction in water, remembering that both mass and charge have to be balanced for a reaction to be correct. Ca(s) + 2 H2O(1) --> H2(g) + Ca2*(aq) + 2 OH'(aq) O Ca(s) + H2O(1) H2(g) + Ca2*(aq) + OH (aq) --> O Ca(s) --> H2(g) + Ca2*(aq) + 2 OH(aq) O Ca(s) + H2O(1) : --> 2 H(g) + Ca2*(aq) + O2 (aq) O Ca2*(s) + 2 H2O(1) --> H2(g) + Ca2+(aq) + 2 OH (aq)
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.
