Resonance Chemistry Ionic Equilibrium

 Resonance in Chemistry & Ionic Equilibrium – Explained!

Both Resonance and Ionic Equilibrium are fundamental concepts in physical and organic chemistry that help explain molecular stability and reactions in solutions. Let’s break them down!

 1. Resonance in Chemistry

 What is Resonance?

Resonance occurs when a molecule or ion cannot be represented by a single Lewis structure but instead exists as a hybrid of multiple structures. This helps stabilize the molecule by delocalizing electrons across atoms.

 Key Features of Resonance:

 The actual structure is a resonance hybrid, which is more stable.
 Electrons are delocalized over multiple atoms.
 Resonance lowers the energy of the molecule.

 Example of Resonance:

Benzene (C₆H₆)

• It has two equivalent resonance structures with alternating single and double bonds.
• The real structure is a delocalized π-system where all bonds are equal.

Carbonate Ion (CO₃²⁻)

• Three equivalent resonance structures exist.
• The negative charge is evenly spread over three oxygen atoms.

Conclusion: Resonance increases stability and influences the reactivity of molecules.

 2. Ionic Equilibrium in Chemistry

 What is Ionic Equilibrium?

In aqueous solutions, weak acids, bases, and salts partially ionize and establish a dynamic equilibrium between ionized and unionized species.

 Key Concepts of Ionic Equilibrium:

Degree of Ionization (α): The fraction of molecules ionized in solution.
Equilibrium Constant (Ka, Kb, Kw): Determines the strength of acids and bases.
Buffer Solutions: Maintain pH stability despite small amounts of acid/base addition.

 Important Equilibrium Expressions:

Dissociation of Weak Acid (HA ⇌ H⁺ + A⁻)

• Acid Dissociation Constant: Ka = [H⁺][A⁻] / [HA]
• The larger the Ka, the stronger the acid.

Dissociation of Weak Base (BOH ⇌ B⁺ + OH⁻)

• Base Dissociation Constant: Kb = [B⁺][OH⁻] / [BOH]
• The larger the Kb, the stronger the base.

Water Ionization Constant:

• Kw = [H⁺][OH⁻] = 1 × 10⁻¹⁴ at 25°C

 Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation (pH Calculation for Buffers)

For acidic buffers: pH = pKa + log ([Salt] / [Acid])
For basic buffers: pOH = pKb + log ([Salt] / [Base])

Conclusion: Ionic Equilibrium is important in acid-base chemistry, buffer solutions, and solubility equilibria.

 Summary & Applications:

Resonance explains molecular stability and electronic delocalization.
Ionic Equilibrium helps in pH calculations, solubility, and buffer preparation.

Resonance Chemistry – Ionic Equilibrium

Chapter Summary:

Ionic Equilibrium is the study of ions in solution and how they establish equilibrium in electrolytic solutions. It is a part of physical chemistry and builds on basic equilibrium concepts.

Important Concepts Covered:

---

Weightage in Exams:

• JEE Main/Advanced: 2–3 questions

• NEET: 1–2 questions

• Boards: 4–5 marks (CBSE/State boards)

---

Commonly Asked Formulae:

1. pH = –log[H⁺]

2. pOH = –log[OH⁻]

3. Ka × Kb = Kw

4. [H⁺] = √(Ka × C) (for weak acid)

5. Henderson Equation:

   • For acid buffer: pH = pKa + log([salt]/[acid])

   • For base buffer: pOH = pKb + log([salt]/[base])

Resonance-style Tips:

Always start with defining the species (acid/base/salt).
Use ICE tables (Initial, Change, Equilibrium) for equilibrium problems.
Practice log approximations: log 2 ≈ 0.3, log 3 ≈ 0.48, etc.
Remember common Ksp values for popular salts like AgCl, BaSO₄, etc.
