There is a salt of weak acid and weak base the K_(a) of the acid is greater than the K_(b) of the base hence

Answer»

Degree of HYDROLYSIS is independent of the concentration of the salt solution
Anionic hydrolysis will be GREATER than cationic hydrolysis
Cationic hydrolysis is greater than anionic hydrolysis
`h = sqrt((K_(w))/(K_(a)K_(B)))`

Solution :Foa a salt of weak acid and weak base
`K_(h) = (K_(w))/(K_(a)K_(b)) = ([HA][BOH])/([A^(-)][B^(+)]` and `h = sqrt((K_(w))/(K_(a)K_(b)))`
Hence degree of hydrolysis is independent of the concentration of the salt taken.
`{:("Further",A^(-)+H_(2)O hArr HA+OH^(-),,....(i)),(,B^(+)+H_(2)O hArr BOH + H^(+),,...(II)):}`
Since `K_(a)` of HA is more than `K_(b)` of BOH so the extent of backward reaction in (i) is greater than the extent of of hydrolysis of `B^(+)`
Hence choices (a), (c) and (d) are correct while (b) is incorrect.
