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.
![### I. Arrhenius Acids and Bases
- **Acid** - any substance which delivers \[ \text{H}^+ \] to the solution.
- **Base** - any substance which delivers \[ \text{OH}^- \] to the solution.
### II. pH
pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen or hydronium ion concentration:
\[ \text{pH} = -\log [\text{H}^+] = -\log [\text{H}_3\text{O}^+] \]
**Exercise 1: Complete the Table**
| pH | \[ \text{H}^+ \] (mol/L) | \[ \text{OH}^- \] (mol/L) | Acid/Base Sol'n? |
|-----|--------------------------|--------------------------|------------------|
| 7.20| 2.9 x 10⁻¹² | | |
| 5.83| 1.5 x 10⁻⁶ | 6.7 x 10⁻⁹ | ACIDIC |
| 4.32| | | |
### Notes and Calculations
- \[ [\text{OH}^- ] \approx 6.7 \times 10^{-9} \]
- \( K_w = [\text{H}^+][\text{OH}^- ] \)
- \[ \text{pH} = -\log (1.5 \times 10^{-6}) \]
These notes indicate calculation points and steps for understanding the relationship and conversions between pH, \[ \text{H}^+ \] ions, and \[ \text{OH}^- \] ions, as well as identifying the nature of the solution (acidic or basic).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F0d520b33-7440-45bc-bf50-9535ed2d03bc%2F919aa46d-a070-4efd-a60c-6a1a76661a3e%2Fc48udy_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
![**VIII. Base Equilibria**
Just as with acids, strong bases react with water to produce 100% products while weak bases do not. For weak bases, the reaction always produces hydroxide ions and the conjugate acid of the base.
**Exercise I**
Write \( K_b \) (hydrolysis) reactions for the following bases. Use the proper type of arrow in your reaction.
1. \( \text{C}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2^- (\text{aq}) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (\text{l}) \rightleftharpoons \text{HC}_2\text{H}_3\text{O}_2 (\text{aq}) + \text{OH}^- (\text{aq}) \)
2. \( \text{LiOH (s)} \rightarrow \text{Li}^+ (\text{aq}) + \text{OH}^- (\text{aq}) \)
**Exercise II**
Calculate the pH of the following solutions of strong bases:
a) 3.7 x 10^-3 M KOH](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F0d520b33-7440-45bc-bf50-9535ed2d03bc%2F919aa46d-a070-4efd-a60c-6a1a76661a3e%2Fpfrukqr_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
