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.
![### Question: The pH is dependent on which of the following?
- ( ) acid concentration
- ( ) whether the acid is strong or weak
- ( ) both choice a and b
- ( ) neither choice a nor b
### Explanation:
The question is asking what factors influence the pH of a solution. There are four multiple-choice options provided.
To answer this question correctly, one must consider the definitions and the roles of acid concentration and the strength of the acid.
1. **Acid Concentration**: The concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. The more hydrogen ions present, the lower the pH.
2. **Strong Acid vs. Weak Acid**: Strong acids dissociate completely in solution, releasing more hydrogen ions compared to weak acids, which only partially dissociate.
The pH is influenced by both of these factors, as they both determine the amount of hydrogen ions available in the solution. Thus, the correct answer would be:
- ( ) both choice a and b](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Febe45f5d-5c04-4921-8d3a-3c73b83ec869%2Ff174f6e2-14a3-4045-878f-b25f593836a1%2Fnbcajz_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
