Concept explainers
Interpretation:
“Write an equation for the acid-base reaction between ammonium ion and sulphate ion. Why does the equilibrium mixture contain mostly reactants.” should be explained.
Concept introduction:
► Bronsted-Lowry acid-base system:
► Acid: According to Bronsted-Lowry concept; substance which donates the proton or (hydrogen ion) are said to be acid. Proton donor is a Bronsted-Lowry acid.
► Base: According to Bronsted-Lowry concept; substance which accepts the proton or (hydrogen ion) are said to be base. Proton acceptor is a Bronsted-Lowry base.
► Conjugated acid-Base Pairs:
The pair of Acid-Base which is differs by a proton is called conjugated Acid-Base pair. The acid of conjugated acid-base pair has one more hydrogen atom from base of conjugated acid-base pair.
► The direction of acid base is that where strong acid and strong base will form weak acid and weak base.
