QUESTION:-

Explain why methyl mercury ion is taken as the standard for comparison of hard and soft characters of acids and bases.

ANSWER:-

  • Innate acid–base strength is a distinguishing feature from the hardness and softness.

  • Hardness - softness distinct to resilience which is accomplished due to the interaction of hard-hard and soft– soft.

  • While considering acid-base interactions the one basis of both strengths as well as hardness softness should be done. And this is why Methylmercury is taken as the standard for comparison of hard and soft characters of acids and bases..

After enrolling the stability of different bases toward methylmercury cation (CH 3Hg +) and the proton (H+).

  • In the data, it appeared that the bases like triethyl phosphine (Et3P) and the sulphides S2 –ion is very strong toward both CH3Hg+ and H+ But both Et3P and S2-ion are a lot times better toward CH3Hg+, therefore both are deemed to be soft bases.

  • The OH- ion is a strong base toward both acids CH3Hg+ and H+ but it is a lot time better base towards acid, H+ therefore OH- is hard. The F-ion is not a good base toward CH3Hg+ or H+ but slightly better toward H+ as it seems from its hardness.
