When a strong base is added to a solution of CuSO4, which is pale blue, a precipitate forms and the solution above the precipitate is colorless. What is the net chemical equation that describes this reaction? Include the phases of all species in the chemical equation. When ammonia is then added, the precipitate dissolves and the solution turns a deep navy blue. What is the net chemical equation that describes this event? Include the phases of all species in the chemical equation. Cu(OH)₂ (s) + 4NH, (aq) → [Cu(NH₂)]3+ (aq) + 2OH- (aq) Tip: Plus signs (+) can be typed from the keyboard. Reaction arrows can be found in the Tools menu of the answer module. Include phases in the balanced chemical equation. Click on the (aq) button in the tools to select the phase to add. Phases should not be subscripted.
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.
