A buffer solution contains 0.202 M of a weak acid and 0.224 M of its conjugate base. The K, of the acid is 2.3 x 10-8 What is the pka of the acid? What is the pH of this buffer solution? If 0.0155 moles of potassium hydroxide are added to 1 L of this buffer, what is the pH of the resulting buffer solution? (Assume that the volume does not change upon adding potassium hydroxide. )
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.
