Concept explainers

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.

A solution of weak base is titrated to the equivalence point with a strong acid. a Which one of the following statements is most likely to be correct? The pH of the solution is greater than 13.0. The pH of the solution at the equivalence point is 7.0. The pH of the solution is between 2.0 and 7.0. The pH of the solution is between 7.0 and 13.0. The pH of the solution is less than 2.0. D The reason that best supports the answer above is OBecause the solution contains a weak base and the acid (titrant) is used up at the equivalence point, the solution will be basic. Whenever a solution is titrated with a strong acid, the solution will be very acidic. Because the solution contains the conjugate acid of the weak base at the equivalence point, the solution will be acidie
