The salt of strong acid and strong base ...

The salt of strong acid and strong base not undergo hydrolysis . Explain .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) In this case , neither the cations nor the anions undergo hydrolysis. Therefore the solution remains neutral.
(ii) For example , in the aqueous solution of NaCI , its ions `Na^+ and CI^-` ions have no tendency to react with `H^+ "or" OH^(-)` ions of water . This is because the possible products of such reaction are NaOH and HCI Which are completely dissociated As a result, there, there is no change in the concentration of `H^+ and OH^-` ions and hence the solution continues to remain neutral .
