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.

Textbook Question

Chapter 2.8, Problem 32P

Fosamax (shown on the previous page) has six acidic groups. The active form of the drug, which has lost two of its acidic protons, is shown in the box. (Notice that the phosphorus atom in Fosamax and the sulphur atom in Problem 36 can be surrounded by more than eight electrons because P and S are below the second row of the periodic table.)

a. Why are the OH groups bonded to phosphorus the strongest acids of the six groups?
b. What of the remaining four groups is the weakest acid?
