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.
Predict the stronger acid in each pairH2C2O4 or HC2O4 -
H2C2O4 and HC2O4- are acidic in nature.
Acids are the substance that is capable of donating H+ion to a basic substance. Since both of the compounds contain hydrogen atom and hence it can be released as H+ ion and they are acidic in nature.
Oxalic acid is a stronger acid than HC2O4-. It is very easy for oxalic acid to donate an H+ to a base when compared with HC2O4-, it can be explained by using the conjugated acid base concepts.
Oxalic acid loses an H+ ion to form HC2O4-, since HC2O4- is the conjugated base of the oxalic acid, HC2O4- has a greater tendency to accept an H+ ion.
That is the chances of removal of H+ ion by an oxalic acid is greater than that of HC2O4- ion.
