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.
Which of the compounds will have higher solubility in acidic solution than in pure water?
Fe(OH)3 |
||
PbCl2 |
||
AgCl (s) |
||
CaSO4 |
The solubility of an ionic compound depends on the pH of the medium if it contains a strong conjugate acid, a strong conjugate base, or both.
Fe(OH)3 dissociates partially in water to produce Fe3+ and OH- ions. In an acidic solution, OH- (strong conjugate base) reacts with H+ to produce H2O.
Hence, OH- is removed from the medium. So, more Fe(OH)3 will dissolve to produce OH- and to keep the solubility product the same.
Hence, Fe(OH)3 will have a higher solubility in acidic solution than in pure water.
