Write a balanced net ionic equation to show why the solubility of Zn3(PO4)2 (s) increases in the presence of a strong acid and calculate the equilibrium constant for the reaction of this sparingly soluble salt with acid. Consider only the FIRST STEP in the reaction with strong acid. Use the pull-down boxes to specify states such as (aq) or (s). 2H₂O+ 3Zn2+ Zn3(PO4)2 (s) K 1.9x10^-20 + (aq) (aq) + 2HPO 2- (aq) + 2H₂O (1)
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.
