There is another theory put forward to explain the acid-base properties. Acidic and basic features can also be described using Lewis theory. According to the definition given by Lewis, an acid is the one that accepts an electron pair. If it can do it readily and easily then it is a stro...
For instance, the wiki also lists that CaCl2 can be present at a slightly acidic pH (see the wiki for the hydrated compound which can be between 6.5-8) depending on the circumstances. Saying CaCl2 is neither acidic or basic is still the best answer. Logged BluRay Full Member Posts: 154...
Why does chloroform, under some conditions, dissolve in a mixture of acidic acid and water? Why doesn't sulphur dioxide directly dissolve in water? Why isn't hydrochloric acid used to both dissolve and precipitate silver? 1. Why is potassium hydroxide used ...
It has been previously shown that water molecules in the solvation sphere of cations are more acidic, i.e. more hydrogen-bond donor or more electrophilic, than network-organized ~ater.~' In the bound-water phase there is necessarily a gradient in the sodium ion concentrations, and therefore,...
