Acid-Base Equilibria (Including Multistage Ionization) and Ionization Constants

Ionization of a compound is referred to as the splitting of neutral compounds into ions. As per the Arrhenius theory, the compounds that form H+(hydrogen) ions after dissociation in the medium (aqueous) are called acids. On the other hand, the compounds that form OH- ions after dissociation in the aqueous medium are called bases. The […]

Acids, Bases and the Use of Indicators

Introduction Acid and base are the two-term terms that you would learn from the beginning of mid-school education. Well, we all know by now that acids and bases are two different levels of potency of a liquid. With the help of indicators, we can know whether the fluid is acidic or basic. Beverages are of

Reaction with Sulphuric Acid

The reaction of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) with water and alcoholic compounds produces heat. It is made out of sulphur, oxygen and hydrogen. Many industries use the chemical compound for treatment of ores, in manufacturing fertilisers etc. The odourless and colourless liquid reacts with water, sugar, metals like zinc and delivers different formations. Following its vast industrial applications

Acidic Buffer

A buffer is a liquid that can withstand considerable pH changes when added to a small quantity of acid or alkali. The pH of acid buffer solutions is a little less than 7. It’s usually created using a weak acid and one of its salts (commonly referred to as conjugate).  Acidic buffer solutions are typically

Acid-Base Characteristics

Every day, we encounter liquids that have acidic and basic properties. The only exception, in this case, is water. The particular acid-base characteristics set them apart from each other. Carl-Axel Arrhenius defines an acid as a compound that yields hydrogen cations when dissolved in water. The strength of an acid or a base is determined

Acid Base Titration

An acid-base titration is a quantitative analysis of acids and bases in which an acid or base of known concentration neutralizes an acid or base of unknown concentration; in this process, an acid or base of known concentration neutralizes an acid or base of unknown concentration. Visual indicators, pH electrodes, or a combination of the

Formation of Complexes

The world of chemistry has all the chemical aspects of the universe explained by it. The atoms, ions and chemical charges continuously connect and form new ‘chemical species’. Such is the formation of complexes in chemistry. The formation of complexes elucidates the interactions of ions or metals. To understand the formation of complexes, we need
