SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on writing hydrolysis equations for five specific salts: Na2CO3, Na3PO4, Na2HPO4, NaH2PO4, and NH4Cl. Participants emphasize the importance of identifying the corresponding acids and bases for each salt to construct the full hydrolysis equations. The discussion highlights the need for a clear understanding of the hydrolysis process, including the dissociation of salts in water and the resulting acid-base reactions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of acid-base chemistry
  • Knowledge of hydrolysis reactions
  • Familiarity with chemical equations
  • Basic concepts of salts and their origins
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the hydrolysis of Na2CO3 and its resulting pH
  • Study the hydrolysis reactions for Na3PO4 and Na2HPO4
  • Learn about the hydrolysis of NH4Cl and its implications in solution
  • Explore resources on writing complete ionic and net ionic equations
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of hydrolysis reactions and their applications in acid-base chemistry.

Hi Hi!

I am just wondering if I would be able to get some help in writing down the hydrolysis equations for the following reactions:

1. Hydrolysis of Na2CO3
2. Hydrolysis of Na3PO4
3. Hydrolysis of Na2HPO4
4. Hydrolysis of NaH2PO4
5. Hydrolysis of NH4Cl

I'm really lost with these, I think I would need to write the full steps, (ie not the net ionic equation) but I can't seem to find them in my Chemistry textbook and my tutor's away till next week.

Any guidance or links to appropriate websites would be greatly appreciated! :D

Hint 1 : Try determining the respective acid and base from which the salts had been produced.
