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 henceA. Degree of hydrolysis is independent of the concentration of the salt solutionB. Anionic hydrolysis will be greater than cationic hydrolysisC. Cationic hydrolysis is greater than anionic hydrolysisD. `h = sqrt((K_(w))/(K_(a)K_(b)))`

Answer» Correct Answer - A::C::D
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.
