Unit 4: Acids, Bases, And Salts (2) Flashcards
What are the only 5 negative ions that DO NOT hydrolyze?
ClO4- I- Br- Cl- NO3- (Top five on Ka in data booklet)
What are the only 4 positive ions that hydrolyze?
Al(H2O)6 3+ Fe(H2O)6 3+ Cr(H2O)6 3+ NH4+ (Only 4 positively charged compounds on the Ka table)
In general positive ion hydrolysis results in a(n) ____ solution
Acidic
In general, negative ion hydrolysis results in a(n) ____ solution
Basic
The only 4 positive ions that hydrolyze come from ____ bases
Weak
The only 5 negative ions that do not hydrolyze come from _____ acids
Strong
Ions that hydrolyze come from ___ acids or bases
Weak
Positive ions hydrolyze to produce a(n) _____ solution
Acidic
Negative ions hydrolyze to produce a(n) ____ solution
Basic
If both ions hydrolyze what do you compare to see which reaction predominates?
Ka & Kb values.
The larger K value is the one which predominates
How do you find the pH of a salt solution?
Use the Ka or Kb value to find the [H30+] or [OH-] the find the pH from there.
