Q
Salt hydrolysis
A
- Occurs when ions produced by the dissociation of a salt react with water to produce either hydroxide ions or hydronium ions
- Basic salts (conjugated of weak acids):
F- (aq) + H2O (l) <> HF (aq) + OH- (aq) - Acidic salts (conjugated of weak bases):
NH4+ (aq) + H2O (l) <> NH3 (aq) + H3O+ (aq)
