The correct Answer is:
To determine which statements are correct regarding hydrolysis and ionic equilibrium, we will analyze each statement step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the first statement The first statement discusses the equilibrium constant \( K_H \) for the hydrolysis of the acetate ion \( \text{CH}_3\text{COO}^- \) and ammonium ion \( \text{NH}_4^+ \). It states that \( K_H \) is independent of concentration. **Analysis:** - The hydrolysis constant \( K_H \) is defined for the reaction of a weak base with water. It is indeed independent of the concentration of the solution. The degree of hydrolysis does not depend on the concentration of the salt solution. - Therefore, this statement is **incorrect**. ### Step 2: Analyze the second statement The second statement claims that anions weaker than \( \text{OH}^- \) do not hydrolyze. **Analysis:** - Anions that are weaker bases than hydroxide ions will not hydrolyze because they cannot accept protons from water to form a stronger acid. For example, the anion \( \text{Cl}^- \) derived from a strong acid does not hydrolyze. - Thus, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 3: Analyze the third statement The third statement compares the hydrolysis of acetate ion \( \text{CH}_3\text{COO}^- \) with that of formate ion \( \text{HCOO}^- \). **Analysis:** - The hydrolysis constant \( K_b \) for the acetate ion is related to the dissociation constant \( K_a \) of acetic acid. Since acetic acid has a higher \( K_a \) than formic acid, it follows that the degree of hydrolysis \( K_H \) for acetate will be greater than that for formate. - Thus, this statement is **correct**. ### Step 4: Analyze the fourth statement The fourth statement discusses the hydrolysis of \( \text{HSO}_4^- \) and \( \text{SO}_4^{2-} \). **Analysis:** - The ion \( \text{HSO}_4^- \) is a weak acid and can undergo hydrolysis, but it cannot produce a stronger acid than itself. The sulfate ion \( \text{SO}_4^{2-} \) is a very weak base and does not hydrolyze significantly. - Therefore, this statement is **correct**. ### Conclusion: The correct statements are: 1. The second statement (about anions weaker than \( \text{OH}^- \) not hydrolyzing) is correct. 2. The third statement (about acetate ion having greater hydrolysis than formate ion) is correct. 3. The fourth statement (about \( \text{HSO}_4^- \) and \( \text{SO}_4^{2-} \)) is correct. ### Final Answer: - The correct statements are the second, third, and fourth statements.
