A road tanker carrying an acid was involved in an accident and its contents spilledon the road, iron drain covers began melting and fizzing as the acid ran over them. ASpecialist was called to se if the acid actually leaked into the nearby river.(a) Explain how the specialist could carry out a simple test to see if the river water contains some acid or not.(b) The word melting is incorrectly used in the report. Suggest a better name that should have been used.(c) Explain why drain covers began fizzing as the acid rain over them.
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.
