Chapter 4, Problem 4.137AP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The changes that occur in the given light bulb after the addition of one equivalent of aqueous $\text{NaOH}$ to the aqueous solution of acetic acid is to identified. A balanced net ionic equation is to be stated.

Concept introduction: When a compound dissociates completely into its respective ions in aqueous solution then it is called a strong electrolyte. The aqueous solutions of strong electrolytes are having a higher concentration of ions.

To determine: If the light bulb becomes brighter, remain the same or turn off after addition of one equivalent of aqueous $\text{NaOH}$ to the aqueous solution of acetic acid with the help of a balanced ionic equation.
