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 is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.
![### Precipitation Reaction and Reaction Quotient (Q)
**Problem Statement:**
When 12.0 mL of a \(6.95 \times 10^{-4} \,M\) magnesium nitrate solution is combined with 22.0 mL of a \(7.27 \times 10^{-4} \,M\) potassium hydroxide solution, does a precipitate form?
\[ K_{sp} \left( \text{Mg(OH)}_2 \right) = 1.5 \times 10^{-11} \]
- ◯ Yes, the precipitate forms.
- ◯ No, the precipitate doesn't form.
For these conditions, the Reaction Quotient, \( Q \), is equal to \(\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\).
**Explanation:**
To determine whether a precipitate forms, you need to compare the reaction quotient \( Q \) to the solubility product constant \( K_{sp} \).
- If \( Q > K_{sp} \), a precipitate forms.
- If \( Q < K_{sp} \), no precipitate forms.
- If \( Q = K_{sp} \), the solution is at equilibrium and no further precipitate will form under current conditions.
**Steps to Calculate \( Q \):**
1. **Calculate the initial moles of each ion:**
- Moles of \( \text{Mg}^{2+} \) from magnesium nitrate:
\[
\text{Moles of } \text{Mg}^{2+} = 12.0 \, \text{mL} \times \frac{6.95 \times 10^{-4} \,M}{1000 \, \text{mL}}
\]
- Moles of \( \text{OH}^- \) from potassium hydroxide:
\[
\text{Moles of } \text{OH}^- = 22.0 \, \text{mL} \times \frac{7.27 \times 10^{-4} \,M}{1000 \, \text{mL}}
\]
2. **Determine the final concentrations after mixing (taking into account the total volume):**
- Total volume \( = 12.0 \, \text{mL} + 22.0 \, \text{mL} = 34](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2ad64212-e120-4fe2-97f2-e4e87c5c792a%2F0ac38459-b699-492d-926c-6a4580ae5e0e%2F7xppgvx6_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
