Hydrolysis of Salts

Ions

________ that contain a removable H+ can be acidic OR basic; it depends on Ka values.

Neutral solution

________: contains equal concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions.

neutralization

Acid- base ________ reaction: the reaction between an acid and a base.

ion CAN

Any- ________ gain a proton, and so can act as a base.

Neutral solution

contains equal concentrations of hydronium and hydroxide ions

Acid-base neutralization reaction

the reaction between an acid and a base

Strong Acid-Strong Base

a neutral solution forms

Strong Acid-Weak Base

a weakly acidic solution forms

Weak Acid-Strong Base

a weakly basic solution forms

Weak Acid-Weak Base

the solution formed may be acidic or basic

Any

ion CAN gain a proton, and so can act as a base

The

ion from a weak acid is BASIC in water
