The salt of strong acid and strong base does not undergo hydrolysis. Comment. |
| Answer» Solution :In this case, neither the cation nor the anion undergoes hydrolysis. Therefore, the solution remains neutral. For EXAMPLE, in the AQUEOUS solution of NaCl, its ions `Na^+` and `Cl^-` have no tendency to react with the `H^+` or `OH^-` ions of water. This is because the possible products of such reaction are NAOH and HCl, which are themselves completely dissociated. As a RESULT, there is no change in the concentration of `H^+` and `OH^-` ions and hence the solution CONTINUES to remain neutral. | |
