hydrolysis of weak acid and weak base

In this case both the cation and anion undergo hydrolysis to the same or different extents. The resulting solution may be neutral, acidic or basic depending upon the relative strengths of acids and bases. The hydrolysis may be written as: ..

The heat of neutralization of a weak acid or a weak base is less than -57.1 kJ and is also different for different weak acids or bases. For example for acetic acid the enthalpy of neutralization is -54.9 kJ. This can b..

Here, cation B + undergoes hydrolysis to give free H + ions. Therefore the resulting solution will be acidic in character having pH less than 7. For example, ..

This type of titration is carried out between acetic acid and sodium hydroxide. The free H + ion from the weak acid is neutralized by OH - ions from the base and there is a small increase in pH. Around the equivalence point large increase in pH is observ..

An acid that dissociates only partially when dissolved in water, is classified as a weak acid. Most of the molecules remain in solution in molecular form itself in such acid. Examples are: acetic acid, formic acid, carbonic acid..

Substances, which give poorly conducting solutions when dissolved in water because they are ionized to a very small extent are called as weak electrolytes. For example, NH 3 , CH 3 COOH, H 2 CO 3 , organic bases etc...

An acid which dissociates very feebly in water and whose molecules mostly remain in the undissociated form is categorized as a weak acid. It behaves as a weak electrolyte. ..

A base that dissociates only partially into ions in aqueous medium is called a weak base. It behaves as a weak electrolyte..

A weak electrolyte ionises or dissociates only partially to form free mobile ions. Most of the electrolyte remains as un-ionised molecules. For example in acetic acid, the number of its dissociated ions (the acetate and hydrogen ions) is less compared to the total amount of acet..
