The aqueous solution of
Concept introduction:
Bronsted-Lowry theory: It is based on an acid–base reaction, in this when acid react with base each other, by exchanging of protons the acid forms conjugate base and the base forms as conjugate acid.
Definition of acid and base: If a substance dissociates in water it gives H+ ions (hydrogen ions) is called acid and in the case of base it gives OH- ions (hydroxide ions).
Acidic solution: All cations with the conjugate acids of weak bases is called acidic aqueous solution. When the metal cations have more positive charge then it acts as Lewis acid in aqueous solution.
Neutral solution: If the metal cations are very large or it have very low positive charge then it is considered as neutral cations. In the case of strong acids, the anions are considered as neutral in water.
Basic solution: All anions with the conjugate bases of weak acids is called basic aqueous solution.

Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight
- Phosphate buffers are important in regulating the pH of intracellular fluids. If the concentration ratio of H2PO4/HPO42 in a sample of intracellular fluid is 1.1: 1, what is the pH of this sample of intracellular fluid? H2PO4(aq)HPO42(aq)+H+(aq)Ka=6.2108arrow_forwardCalculate the pH of a .05 M solution of HCl(aq)?arrow_forward(A) if both sentences are true,(B) if both sentences are false,(C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and(D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of iron changed from +2 to +3; thus, sulfur is a reducing agent. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of nitrogen was unchanged; thus, nitrogen is an oxidant. 2. In a redox reaction, the reducing agent is oxidized and it gains electrons. In a redox reaction, the oxidizing agent is reduced and it gains electrons. 3. Bending stress is also known as flexural stress. The test used in observing the mechanical strength of chocolate is the three-point bend test. 4. The flexural strength of materials may be expressed in Pascals. Magnesium is more reactive than silver; therefore, magnesium corrodes faster than silver with the aid of air, oxygen, and sea water.arrow_forward
