chemistry acids and bases

The acidity of a base is equal to the number of hydroxyl ions it has. It is also the number of hydrogen ions with which a base can combine as one hydrogen ion combines with one hydroxyl i..

Lewis Concept of Acids and Bases - In 1938 G.N. Lewis put forward a more generalized acid-base concept. According to this concept, an acid is a species (charged or uncharged), which can accept a pair of electrons and a base is a species (charged and..

Conjugate Acid - Base Pair - An acid after losing a proton becomes a base whereas a base after accepting the proton becomes an acid. For example, let us consider the reaction between water and ammonia as represented by the following equili..

An acid after losing a proton becomes a base whereas a base after accepting the proton becomes an acid. For example, let us consider the reaction between water and ammonia as represented by the following equilibrium: In the forward reaction water acts as an h..

Titration is an operation for the measurement of quantities of substances in solution by the method of 'volume analysis'. This process involves adding a solution of the reagent of known concentration (standard solution), taken in a burette (called 'titrant'), to an unknown solution (called an..

Acid Base Titrations - In acid base titrations, a base is added to an acid successively (or vice versa) and the pH of the solution is noted after every addition. The plot of pH against the amount of base (or acid) added..
