Ionic Equilibrium focuses on the behavior and equilibrium of ions in aqueous solutions. It covers acid-base theories, ionization of weak electrolytes, Ka, Kb, pH, buffer solutions, solubility product, common ion effect, indicators and hydrolysis of salts.
This page covers Ionic Equilibrium, chapter 2 of 22 in the Class 12 Chemistry syllabus set by the National Examination Board (NEB). 9 important questions for this chapter are available, each with a full solution.
For numerical and derivation-based chapters like this one, working through past NEB questions is usually more useful than re-reading notes alone — try solving each important question above before checking the solution, then compare your working step by step.
