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. Write balanced equation to represent the reaction.
ii. Explain why the solution is neutral
Neutral solution is that which is neither acidic nor basic. Its pH is 7. It contains equal amount of H+ and OH- in the solution.
The salt produced by the reaction of an equal number of moles of KOH and HNO3. Balanced chemical reaction is:
Salts of strong acid and strong bases have pH=7 which indicates the neutral solution.
Here KOH and HNO3 are strong base and acid respectively.
