COMPREHENSION-1
When a salt reacts with water to form acidic or basic solution, the process is called hydrolysis. The pH of salt
solution can be calculated using the following relations:
1
pH= [pK +pKa+logC] for salt of weak acid and strong base
2 w
1
pH= [pK -pK -logC] for salt of weak base and strong acid
2 w b
1
pH = [pK +pKa-pKb] For salt of weak acid and weak
2 w
When a weak acid or a weak base is not completely neutralized by strong base or strong acid repectively, then
formation of buffer takes place. The pH of buffer solution can be calculated using the following relation.
[Salt ] [ Salt ]
pH=pKa+log ; pOH=pKb+log
[ Acid ] [ Base]
