Although we normally think of acetic acid as an acid, it can also act as a weak base. Treated with a strong acid, it can become protonated. The conjugate acid of acetic acid is shown. H3C- :O-H H* Draw curved arrows for resonance structure 1. H₂C Derive a resonance structure for this ion which, taken with the given structure, would show that the two -OH groups are equivalent, the two C-O bonds are equivalent, and the positive charge is shared equally by the two oxygens. H3C- The skeleton for the second resonance structure is provided. Add the bond(s), charge(s), and unshared pairs of electrons. Then draw the curved arrows to show the flow of electrons that transforms each resonance structure into the other. : OH H OH :O-H Complete the structure of resonance structure 2 and draw curved arrows to transform it to resonance structure 1. H₂C <-C OH OH
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.
