4 Hydrolysis of salts
Salt HYDROLYSIS :is the reaction of salts with
water.
It is the reaction of cations or anions or both ions of
salts with water to produce hydronium ion or
hydroxide ion.
There are four types of hydrolysis of salts
1. Hydrolysis of salts of strong acids and
strong bases
Are also known as “type I salts”
are salts obtained from strong acids and
strong bases.
They do not undergo hydrolysis i.e
cations or anions of type I salts don’t
react with water
They are neutral salts
They have PH of (PH=7)
They don’t affect the PH of water
Example: Nacl,KCl,NaNO3 , BaI2 ,Ca(Cl04)2
etc.. Kcl(aq) k+(aq) + cl-(aq)
K++H2O no reaction
2. Hydrolysis of salts of weak
acids and strong bases.(Anion hydrolysis)
Prepared by : ENG YUSUF DEK.
Are also known as “type II salts”
They are salts obtained from weak
acids and strong bases.
Only anion of the salt will react with
water.
They are basic salts.
They have PH>7.
The addition of such salts increase
the PH of water
Example:NaF, K2CO3, HCOONa, CH3COOK,
CH3COOK CH3COO-+K+
CH3COO- + H2O CH3COOH +
OH
K++ H2O no reaction
The PH of type II salt is determined by the
formula : PH= 7+1/2(log[salt] -
log[ka])
Example:
NH4F NH4++ F-
NH4+ + H2O NH3 + H3O+
F- + H2O HF + OH-
The PH of type IV salts is determines by the
formula : PH= 7+1/2(log[kb] - log[ka])
NB:
Titrant is carefully
controlled neutralization reaction
Equivalence point: is
the point at which the acid and
bases have been consumed.
Prepared by : ENG YUSUF DEK.
End point: is the point
at which the indicator changes color
permanently.
Titration curve: is the
graph of PH iversus volume of
titrant.
