You have 200 gallons of a vegetable wash that is made from a solution of acetic acid (60.052 g/mol, ka=1.75×10^-5) with a pH of 3.3 and a container of vinegar with 5% acidity from Acetic acid at a pH of 2.4. You use 150 gallons of the solution cleaning potatoes and need to refill your wash container. How much of the vinegar do you add to the 50 gallons of remaining vegetable wash so, when you dilute with water to a final volume of 200, the pH of the solution will remain 3.3?
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.
