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.
![**Topic: Hydroxide Ion Concentration in Aspirin Solution**
The hydroxide ion concentration of an aqueous solution of 0.532 M acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), HC₉H₇O₄, is determined as follows:
\[ [OH^-] = \_\_\_\_ \, \text{M} \]

- **Retry Entire Group**: Button to retry the problem.
- "9 more group attempts remaining": Indicates the number of attempts left for the group.
### Instructions for Calculation:
1. Calculate the degree of ionization of acetylsalicylic acid in water.
2. Determine the concentrations of ions in the solution.
3. Use the concentration of ions to find the hydroxide ion concentration, using the relationship between hydrogen ions \([H^+]\) and hydroxide ions \([OH^-]\) in water at equilibrium.
Note: Ensure to apply the principles of equilibrium and use appropriate formulas where necessary in your calculation.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F6bfb8691-d1db-4ddc-9d6d-d840f1ac88cb%2Fc06247a9-dd80-4be2-9556-ca2ef866405d%2F9fhrdu9_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
Given : Concentration of HC9H7O4 = 0.532 M
Since HC9H7O4 is a weak acid.
Hence it will dissociate partially as,
=> HC9H7O4 -----------> H+ + C9H7O4- Ka = 3.3 X 10-4 (using appendix)
