Study Notes
Acid Salts
- Acid salts are salts that have an acidic property, formed by the reaction of a weak acid and a strong base.
- They can exhibit acidic or basic characteristics, depending on the pH of the solution.
Electrical Conductivity
- The electrical conductivity of acid salts is higher compared to the pure solvent, due to the presence of ions.
Formation of Acidic Solution
- An acidic solution is formed by an acid salt when it dissociates in water, releasing a proton (H+ ion) and a conjugate base.
Half-Neutralization
- Half-neutralization is a process where only half of the acid molecules in a weak acid-strong base reaction are neutralized.
Half-Neutralization of Ammonia in Hydrochloric Acid Solution
- The main species formed upon the half-neutralization of ammonia (NH3) in hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution is ammonium chloride (NH4Cl).
