Ionic Equilibrium
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 equilibrium is established between the ions and unionized species in a system. Understanding the concept of ionic equilibrium is very important to answer the questions related to certain chemical reactions in chemistry.
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.
Bronsted Lowry Base In Inorganic Chemistry
Bronsted-Lowry base in inorganic chemistry is any chemical substance that can accept a proton from the other chemical substance it is reacting with.
![**Problem Description:**
A 0.063 M solution of a base has a pH of 11.40.
**Question:**
What are the hydronium and hydroxide ion concentrations of this solution?
**Solution:**
- \([H_3O^+]\) = _____ M
- \([OH^-]\) = _____ M
**Details:**
This exercise involves calculating the concentrations of hydronium ions \([H_3O^+]\) and hydroxide ions \([OH^-]\) in a basic solution, given the pH. The relationship between pH, pOH, and the ion concentrations can be used to find these values:
1. **Calculate pOH**: Use the formula \( \text{pOH} = 14 - \text{pH} \).
2. **Find Hydroxide Ion Concentration**: The concentration of hydroxide ions is determined by the formula \([OH^-] = 10^{-\text{pOH}}\).
3. **Find Hydronium Ion Concentration**: Use \([H_3O^+] = 10^{-\text{pH}}\).
The calculated values will provide the molarity (M) for both hydronium and hydroxide ions in the solution.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F7a354f1c-cdfd-41e5-a863-9a86a504af1c%2Fd44c58ee-3880-40de-87b3-6e1d5118de27%2Fuqeaxto_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
