Study Notes
Salt Solutions
- Salt solutions involve reactions of ions with water, a process called hydrolysis.
- Hydration is the interaction of ions with water molecules.
- Solvation is the interaction of ions with solvent molecules.
- Hydrolysis is the reaction of an ion with water.
- Only ions that are conjugate pairs of weak acids or weak bases will react with water.
- Conjugate pairs of strong acids and strong bases do not hydrolyze.
Hydrolysis
- Ions can react with water if they are the conjugate pair of a weak acid or a weak base.
- If an acid (HA) is strong, its Ka is very large, and the conjugate base (A-) will not hydrolyze.
- If an acid (HA) is weak, its Ka is measurable, and the conjugate base (A-) can hydrolyze, and Kₐ of A- is bigger than zero.
- If a base (B) is strong, its Kb is very large, and the conjugate acid (BH+) will not hydrolyze.
- If a base (B) is weak, its Kb is measurable, and the conjugate acid (BH+) can hydrolyze, and Kₐ of BH+ is bigger than zero.

- Weak acid: conjugate base shifted to the left.
- Strong base: shifted to the right.
- Weak base: conjugate acid shifted to the left.
Conjugate pairs of strong acids and bases
- Conjugate pairs of strong acids and strong bases cannot hydrolyze.
- Examples: Cl⁻, NO₃⁻ , Na⁺, K⁺
Conjugate pairs of weak acids and bases
- Conjugate pairs of weak acids and weak bases can hydrolyze.
- Examples: F⁻, NO₂⁻, NH₄⁺
Acidity-basicity of aqueous solutions of salts
- Conjugate acids or bases having Ka or Kb bigger than zero can react with water, so they can hydrolyze.
- Salts of strong acid and strong base form neutral solutions.
- Salts of strong acid and weak base form acidic solutions.
- Salts of weak acid and strong base form basic solutions.
- Salts of weak acid and weak base depend on the relative strength of the acid and base.
Examples
- NaHCO₃: basic solution
- NH₄NO₃: acidic solution
- KBr: neutral solution
Acid-base Titration
- Titration is a procedure for determining the amount of a substance by adding a measured volume of a solution with a known concentration of another substance until the reaction is complete.
- Acid-base titration is based on an acid-base (neutralization) reaction.
- It's a method of quantitative chemical analysis.
Acid-base Titration Curve
- An acid-base titration curve is a plot of pH of the solution of an acid (or base) against the volume of added base (or acid).
- Equivalence point: the point in the titration when the stoichiometric amount of reactant has been added.
Titration of a strong acid by a strong base
- Equivalence point at pH 7.
- Salt of a strong acid and a strong base.
