8.3 Acid/Base Properties of Salt Solutions

Salts are solids (at SATP) composed of cations and anions arranged in a crystalline lattice.  When dissolved in water, they dissociate into individual hydrated ions that may or may not affect the pH of the solution.

neutral electrolyte: a salt which does not produce hydronium ions (H3O+) or hydroxide ions in solution

hydrolysis: a reaction of an ion with water to produce an acidic or basic solution

Practice 8.3 (pH of salt solutions)

1. Predict whether the following solutions are acidic, basic, or neutral.  Refer to Appendix C9 to assist in the calculations.  a) ammonium phosphate b) ammonium sulfatec) sodium sulfite d) ammonium acetate

3. Calculate the pH of each solution: a) 0.30 mol/L ammonium nitrate b) 0.25 mol/L ammonium bromide

Salts That Form Basic Solutions

A salt made of a nonhydrolyzing cation (like Na+ or K+) and an anion that is the conjugate base of a weak acid, will form a basic solution.

Example:

Salts That Form Acidic Solutions

Cations that are conjugate acids of weak molecular bases act as weak acids that tend to lower pH.

Salts that Act as Acids and Bases

Some salts contain the cation of a weak base and the anion of a weak acid.  Both ions can hydrolyze.

Example:

If the Ka is larger than Kb, the solution will be acidic, and vice versa.  In this case, the solution will be basic.

Hydrolysis of Amphoteric Ions

Polyatomic ions whose chemical formulas begin with hydrogen (eg. HCO4

­(aq), HSO4

­(aq)) are amphoteric.  They can accept or 

donate a proton.Example:

The following two equilibrium equations are possible:

The solution will be acidic or basic depending which equation has the larger K value (Ka or Kb).Hydrolysis of Metal and Nonmetal Oxides

Metal oxides react with water to produce basic solutions.Nonmetal oxides react with water to produce acidic solutions.
