Why is the aqueous solution of a salt of a weak acid and strong base is alkaline?(a) utilization(b) neutralization(c) cationic hydrolysis(d) anionic hydrolysisI have been asked this question in unit test.Enquiry is from Equilibrium topic in section Equilibrium of Chemistry – Class 11

Answer»

The CORRECT answer is (d) anionic hydrolysis

Explanation: The aqueous solution of a SALT of a weak acid and strong base is alkaline, DUE to the anionic hydrolysis and aqueous solution of a salt of a strong acid and weak base is acidic, due to CATIONIC hydrolysis with dilution DEGREE of hydrolysis increases.
