The reaction of the weak acid HCN with the strong base KOH is HCN(aq) + KOH(aq) HOH(1) + KCN(aq) To compute the pH of the resulting solution if 63 mL of 0.88 M HCN is mixed with 32 mL of 0.34 KOH, we need to start with the stoichiometry. Let us do just the stoichiometry in steps. How many moles of acid? How many moles of base? What is the limiting reactant? How many moles of the excess reactant after reaction? What is the concentration of the excess reactant after reaction? What is the concentration of the pH active product after reaction? number of moles: number of moles: limiting reactant: number of moles: concentration: concentration:
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.
