The salt of strong acid and strong base does not undergo hydrolysis. Explain |
|
Answer» Solution :(i) In this CASE, neither the cations nor the anions undergo hydrolysis. Therefore the solution remains neutral. (ii) For example in the aqueous solution of NaCl, its ions `Na^+ and Cl^-` ions have no tendency to react with `H^+ or OH^-` ions of water. This is because the POSSIBLE PRODUCTS of such reaction are NaOH and HCl which are 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. |
