Concept explainers

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 equilibri…

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.

Write the equation for dissolving Hydrochloric acid in water (include water). Identify base, acid, conjugate acid, and conjugate base. Describe where the equilibrium lies and why.

Hydrochloric acid is used for removing rust from iron or steel before it is processed for other uses. 5.07 g of HCl(g) is dissolved in water to make a 220 mL solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. Do not show your work. Record only your final answer with the correct number of significant digits. Remember, pH does not have units! Use the following information to complete the statement below. Solution Information Provided 1 2 3 4 [H3O+ (aq)] = 5.5 x 10-¹2 mol/L pOH = 11.92 pH = 3.8 [OH (aq)] = 7.45 x 10-³ mol/L The four solutions in order from least basic to most basic are ◆ ◆ ◆ and

Organic molecules often have polar covalent bonds. How does this provide opportunities for chemical reactions to occur at a specific site in a molecule? How could competitive reactions be controlled by adjusting the acidity/basicity of the chemical system?
