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.

### Educational Resource on Writing Net Ionic Equations
This section is designed to aid students in understanding how to write net ionic equations from given molecular equations. Follow the step-by-step instructions and make sure to specify the states of compounds as aqueous (aq) or solid (s), if applicable. If a box is not needed, leave it blank.
#### Example Problem:
**Given Molecular Equation:**
\[ 2FeI_3(aq) + 3(NH_4)_2CO_3(aq) \rightarrow Fe_2(CO_3)_3(s) + 6NH_4I(aq) \]
**Task:**
Write the net ionic equation for the reaction above.
**Steps:**
1. **Write the Full Ionic Equation:**
- First, split all aqueous compounds into their respective ions.
- \( 2FeI_3(aq) \) dissociates into \( 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + 6I^-(aq) \).
- \( 3(NH_4)_2CO_3(aq) \) dissociates into \( 6NH_4^+(aq) + 3CO_3^{2-}(aq) \).
Full ionic equation:
\[ 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + 6I^-(aq) + 6NH_4^+(aq) + 3CO_3^{2-}(aq) \rightarrow Fe_2(CO_3)_3(s) + 6NH_4^+(aq) + 6I^-(aq) \]
2. **Identify and Cancel Spectator Ions:**
- Spectator ions are ions that appear on both sides of the equation in the same form.
- The spectator ions in this equation are \( 6NH_4^+(aq) \) and \( 6I^-(aq) \).
3. **Write the Net Ionic Equation:**
- Removing the spectator ions leaves:
\[ 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + 3CO_3^{2-}(aq) \rightarrow Fe_2(CO_3)_3(s) \]
**Answer Summary:**
- **Reactants:** \( 2Fe^{3+}(aq) + 3CO_3^{2-}(aq) \)
- **Products:** \( Fe_2](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F9d3b8c7b-85a6-47a8-901c-7cde79ed8dbf%2F81fc9dcc-cf63-4482-92e3-1a8162b74a27%2Ft4rgpuk_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
