what concentration of N2H4(aq) must be added to obtain the equivalent pH as a 0.0010M Ca(OH)2 solution at room temperatutre? (25 degrees celcius)
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.
what concentration of N2H4(aq) must be added to obtain the equivalent pH as a 0.0010M Ca(OH)2 solution at room temperatutre? (25 degrees celcius)
Given:
[Ca(OH)2] = 0.0010 M (or mol/L)
Ca(OH)2 is a strong base, dissociates completely into hydroxide ion.
The dissociation equation is,
Ca(OH)2 (aq) → Ca2+ (aq) + 2 OH- (aq)
As the mole ratio of Ca(OH)2 : 2 OH- is 1 : 2, [OH-] is twice the concentration of Ca(OH)2.
[OH-] = 2 × 0.0010 M (or mol/L)
[OH-] = 0.0020 M (or mol/L)
pOH = - log [OH-]
pH = 14 - pOH
To get the equivalent pH, the pOH of N2H4(aq) solution must be same as that of Ca(OH)2(aq). Consequently the [OH-] obtained by dissociation of N2H4(aq) must equal to [OH-] obtained by dissociation of Ca(OH)2(aq).
