Which of the following correctly ranks the species from weakest to strongest base? HF (Ka = 7.1x10^-4) HCN (Ka = 6.2x10^-10 HClO2 (Ka = 1.2x10^-2) NH4+ (Ka = 5.6x10^-10) (A) CN-
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 following correctly ranks the species from weakest to strongest base?
HF (Ka = 7.1x10^-4)
HCN (Ka = 6.2x10^-10
HClO2 (Ka = 1.2x10^-2)
NH4+ (Ka = 5.6x10^-10)
(A) CN-<NH3<F-<ClO2-<H2O<NO3-
(B) CN-<NH3<F-<ClO2-<NO3-<H2O
(C) H2O<NO3-<ClO2-<F-<NH3<CN-
(D) NO3-<H2O<ClO2-<F-<NH3<CN-
With work please so I can understand how to do this type of problem. I believe it's D just because HNO3 is an acid but I'd like to know how to do the problem if it wasnt multiple choice for example.
