A superficially different type of hydrolysis occurs in aqueous solutions of salts of some metals, especially those giving multiply charged cations. concentrations at equilibrium in an 0.10 M NaOAc
For example, hydrolysis of aqueous solutions of ammonium chloride and of sodium acetate is represented by the following equations: The sodium and chloride ions take no part in the reaction and could equally well be omitted from the equations. It can therefore be legitimately
NH3 + H2O NH4+ + OH- The larger the \(K_a\), the stronger the acid and the higher the \(H^+\) concentration at equilibrium.Like all equilibrium constants, acidbase ionization constants are actually measured in terms of the activities of \(H^+\) or \(OH^\), thus making them unitless. In such a case, we say that sodium chloride is a strong electrolyte. So ammonia is a weak electrolyte as well. acid,

The dependence of the water ionization on temperature and pressure has been investigated thoroughly. Similarly, in the reaction of ammonia with water, the hydroxide ion is a strong base, and ammonia is a weak base, whereas the ammonium ion is a stronger acid than water. a salt of the conjugate base, the OBz- or benzoate
The ions are produced by the water self-ionization reaction, which applies to pure water and any aqueous solution: Expressed with chemical activities a, instead of concentrations, the thermodynamic equilibrium constant for the water ionization reaction is: which is numerically equal to the more traditional thermodynamic equilibrium constant written as: under the assumption that the sum of the chemical potentials of H+ and H3O+ is formally equal to twice the chemical potential of H2O at the same temperature and pressure. concentration in this solution. Self-dissociation of water and liquid ammonia may be given as examples: For a strong acid and a strong base in water, the neutralization reaction is between hydrogen and hydroxide ionsi.e., H3O+ + OH 2H2O.

The symbolism of our chemical equation again indicates a reactant-favored equilibrium for the weak electrolyte. addition of a base suppresses the dissociation of water.

If both the Lewis acid and base are uncharged, the resulting bond is termed semipolar or coordinate, as in the reaction of boron trifluoride with ammonia: Frequently, however, either or both species bears a charge (most commonly a positive charge on the acid or a negative charge on the base), and the location of charges within the adduct often depends upon the theoretical interpretation of the valences involved. Because \(pK_a\) = log \(K_a\), we have \(pK_a = \log(1.9 \times 10^{11}) = 10.72\). According to the theories of Svante Arrhenius, this must be due to the presence of ions.
