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.

![**Problem Statement:**
*What is the pH of a solution that contains 0.10 M cyanic acid and 0.20 M sodium cyanate?*
**Solution:**
To find the pH of a buffer solution containing cyanic acid and sodium cyanate, we use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:
\[ \text{pH} = \text{pKa} + \log \left(\frac{[\text{A}^-]}{[\text{HA}]}\right) \]
Where:
- \([\text{A}^-]\) is the concentration of the conjugate base (sodium cyanate, NaOCN)
- \([\text{HA}]\) is the concentration of the weak acid (cyanic acid, HOCN)
Given:
- \([\text{HA}] = 0.10 \, \text{M}\)
- \([\text{A}^-] = 0.20 \, \text{M}\)
Assume the \(\text{pKa}\) of cyanic acid is known (usually can be found in a table). Substituting these values into the equation will give the pH of the solution.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F52e1156a-f288-4965-9230-d44d38f3b407%2F313bfff3-1949-43e5-a228-61edcd240dfe%2Fo8rgds_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
