Chapter 4, Problem 19QAP

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The reacting species (ion or molecule) which appears in the acid base chemical equation in perchloric acid should be determined.

Concept introduction:

Acids are those compounds which donates a proton to another compound whereas bases are those compounds which accept a proton from another substance.

Acid produces ${\text{H}}^{\text{+}}$ ions when it dissolves in water whereas base produces ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions when it dissolves in water.

Strong acid or base is a substance which ionizes completely into its constituents ions in water.

Weak base or acid is a substance which doesn’t ionize completely into its constituents ions in water.

Acid-Base reaction: When an acidic water solution is mixed with a basic water solution, an acid-base reaction takes place. The equation and nature of the reaction depends upon whether the base and acid involved in the reaction are strong or weak.
