*please help with question 8b*** 8. A certain brand of antacid uses calcium carbonate to neutralize stomach acid (hydrochloric acid). The label recommends taking two (2) tablets where each tablet has approximately 500. mg of calcium carbonate. a) Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid (the primary acid in stomach acid). Determine the acid, base, conjugate acid, and conjugate base. b) If a patient has 100. mL of gastric acid with a pH of 0.9, what will the new pH be after taking the two tablets?
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.
