    Study Notes

    Ionic Equilibrium

    • Ionic equilibrium refers to the balance between ions in a solution, where the rate of ionization equals the rate of recombination.
    • It is characterized by reversible reactions that establish a constant ratio of ions in a saturated solution.

    Strong Electrolyte

    • A strong electrolyte completely dissociates into ions in an aqueous solution.
    • Examples include strong acids (like hydrochloric acid) and strong bases (like sodium hydroxide).

    Classification of Electrolytes

    • Electrolytes are classified based on ionization:
      • Strong electrolytes: Fully ionize, producing maximum ions in solutions.
      • Weak electrolytes: Partially ionize, resulting in fewer ions.
      • Non-electrolytes: Do not ionize at all in solution.

    Non-Electrolyte Definition

    • Non-electrolytes are substances that do not dissociate into ions in solution and thus do not conduct electricity.
    • Common examples include sugars and organic compounds like ethanol.

    General Form of Ionic Equilibrium Reaction

    • Ionic equilibrium reactions are typically expressed as:
      • Reactants ⇌ Products
    • In aqueous solutions, these can represent acid-base dissociations or salt dissolutions where ions are in equilibrium.
