4. Salts of Weak
Acid by Weakly
A weak acid with a weak base to form salts of hydrolyzed total (perfect) in water.
Both cations and anions can be hydrolyzed in water. This salt solution can be acidic, alkaline,
or neutral. It relies on the comparative strength of the cation to the anion in the reaction with
water.
Example
A weak acid is mixed with a weak base HCN, NH 3 is formed salt NH 4 CN. HCN partially
ionized in water to form H + and CN - while NH 3 in a partially ionized water to form NH4 +
and OH-. Alkaline anion CN - and NH 4 + acid cation can be hydrolyzed in water.
NH 4 CN (aq) NH 4 + (aq) + CN - (aq)
NH 4 + (aq) + H 2 O NH 3 (aq) + H 3 O (aq) +
CN - (aq) + H 2 O (e) HCN (aq) + OH - (aq)
The nature of the solution depends on the relative strengths of acids and bases constituent (Ka
and Kb)
- If Ka <Kb (acid weaker than the base) then anion hydrolyzed more and the solution is
alkaline.
- if Ka> Kb (acid stronger than the base) then it will be hydrolysed more cations in the
solution is acidic.
- If Ka = Kb (as weak acid with a base) then the solution is neutral.
EXERCISES
AND
COMPLETION
Here are some examples along with the settlement of matters relating to the hydrolysis of the
salt that we have just pelajarai together:
1. What is the pH of a solution of 100 mL of 0.01 M solution of sodium cyanide? (Ka HCN
= 10-10)
completion:
A solution of sodium cyanide is formed from a mixture of strong base (NaOH) with a weak
acid (HCN). Thus, the saline solution undergo partial hydrolysis and alkaline.
NaCN (aq) Na + (aq) + CN- (aq)
Hydrolyzed ion is CN- ions. CN- ion concentration is 0.01 M. Thus, the pH of the salt
solution can be obtained through the following equation:
[OH] = {(Kw / Ka) ([ion hydrolyzed])} 1/2
[OH] = {(10-14 / 10-10) (0.01)} 1/2
[OH-] = 10-3 M
Thus, pOH of the solution is 3. So, the pH of the salt solution is 11.
2. What is the pH of the solution of barium acetate 200 mL of 0.1 M? (Ka CH3COOH =
2.10-5)
completion:
Barium acetate solution formed from a mixture of strong base (Ba (OH) 2) with a weak acid
(CH3COOH). Thus, the saline solution undergo partial hydrolysis and alkaline.
Ba (CH3COO) 2 (aq) Ba + 2 (aq) + 2 CH3COO- (aq)
Hydrolyzed ion is ion CH3COO-. CH3COO- ion concentration is 0.2 M. Thus, the pH of the
salt solution can be obtained through the following equation:
[OH] = {(Kw / Ka) ([ion hydrolyzed])} 1/2
[OH] = {(10-14 / 2.10-5) (0.2)} 1/2
[OH-] = 10-5 M
Thus, pOH of the solution is 5. Thus, the pH of the salt solution is 9.
5. What mass of NaCN salt which must be dissolved to form a 250 mL solution with a pH
of 10? (Ka HCN = 10-10 and Mr NaCN = 49)
completion:
A solution of sodium cyanide is formed from a mixture of strong base (NaOH) with a weak
acid (HCN). Thus, the saline solution undergo partial hydrolysis and alkaline.
NaCN (aq) Na + (aq) + CN- (aq)
pH = 10, mean pOH = 4
Thus, [OH-] = 10-4 M
Calculation of saline solution pH can be obtained through the following equation:
[OH] = {(Kw / Ka) ([ion hydrolyzed])} 1/2
10-4 = {(10-14 / 10-10) [ion hydrolyzed]} 1/2
[Ion hydrolyzed] = 10-4 M
NaCN necessary salt concentration of 10-4 M. The volume of solution is 250 ml = 0.25 L.
Thus, moles of NaCN salt needed are:
Mol = Volume x Molar
Mol = 0.25 x 10-4 = 2.5 x 10-5 mol
Thus, the mass of NaCN salt is needed as much as 2.5 x 10-5 x 49 = 1.225 x 10-3 grams =
1.225 mg.
