Understanding Hydrolysis of Salt Solutions

What happens when a strong acid like HCl dissociates in solution?

• It dissociates nearly 100% to form H+ and Cl- ions.

• It dissociates partially.

• It remains undissociated.

• It forms a strong conjugate base.

How does sodium acetate affect the pH of a solution?

• It makes the solution acidic.

• It has no effect on the pH.

• It neutralizes the solution.

• It makes the solution basic.

What is the result of dissolving a strong base like Barium Hydroxide in water?

• It forms a strong acid.

• It dissociates to form BA2+ and 2OH- ions.

• It remains undissociated.

• It forms a weak acid.

What happens when KBr is dissolved in water?

• It reacts with water to form a strong acid.

• It forms an acidic solution.

• It forms a basic solution.

• It forms a neutral solution.

How does ammonium nitrate behave in solution?

• It forms a strong base.

• It remains neutral.

• It forms an acidic solution.

• It forms a basic solution.

What determines whether a solution is acidic or basic when both the cation and anion are conjugates of weak acids and bases?

• The concentration of the solution.

• The temperature of the solution.

• The relative strengths of the ka and kb values.

• The presence of a catalyst.

What is the effect of a cation that is the conjugate of a strong base in a solution?

• It makes the solution acidic.

• It forms a strong acid.

• It makes the solution basic.

• It is unreactive and does not affect the pH.

What happens when CN- reacts with water in solution?

• It remains unreactive.

• It forms a weak acid and increases the pH.

• It forms a strong base.

• It forms a strong acid.

How can you determine the pH of a solution with both weak acid and base conjugates?

• By measuring the temperature.

• By comparing the ka and kb values.

• By observing the color change.

• By adding a strong acid.

What is the role of hydronium in a solution?

• It neutralizes the solution.

• It makes the solution acidic.

• It is unreactive.

• It makes the solution basic.
