Consider 0.1 M aqueous solutions of the hypobromous acid, HBrO, and nitrous acid, HNO2, below. Which of the given statements is FALSE? HBrO : Ka = 2 × 10–9 HNO2 : Ka = 4.5 × 10–4 Select one: a.The [BrO–] in the HBrO solution is less than the [NO2–] in the HNO2 solution. b.The pH of the HNO2 solution is greater than the pH of the HBrO solution. c.The concentration of OH– ions is greater in the HNO2 solution. d.Hypobromous acid is a weaker acid than nitrous acid.
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.
