Chemistry-Ionic Equilibrium

NEET Chemistry Ionic Equilibrium MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11

Which of the following statements about ionic equilibrium is correct?

A

In weak electrolytes, equilibrium is established between ions and unionized molecules.

B

The addition of a strong electrolyte shifts the equilibrium to the right.

C

Water cannot act as both an acid and a base at the same time.

D

The common ion effect is unrelated to Le Chatelier's principle.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Statement A is correct as it highlights the nature of weak electrolytes where equilibrium exists between ions and unionized molecules. Statement B is incorrect because adding a strong electrolyte typically shifts the equilibrium to the left. Statement C is false; water can act as both an acid and a base simultaneously. Statement D misrepresents the common ion effect, which is indeed based on Le Chatelier's principle.
