Interpretation:The equation to show the manner
Concept introduction: In accordance with Bronsted definition an acid can act as a proton donor and a base can act as a proton acceptor. Thus in a typical acid-base reaction, the fundamental principle is a lone pair of base reaches out for an acidic proton. Similar curved arrows are used to show the movement of electrons. After deprotonation, the species left with a negative charge is referred as the conjugate base of acid while the other with a positive charge is termed conjugate acid of given base. For example;
The strength of various conjugate acid-base pairs varies inversely to one another; the strong acid has a weak conjugate base and the strong base has weak conjugate acid and vice-versa. Smaller the
The order of acidic strength of various alcohols is as follows:
For tertiary alcohols, the steric bulk is maximum that leads to inhibition in solvation of

- Determine the pH of solution of HC3H5O2 By constructing an ICE table writing the equilibrium constant expression, and using this information to determine the pH. The Ka of HC3H5O2 is 1.3 x 10-5arrow_forwardDetermine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, simply write only NR.
