Define Weak acids and Weak bases.

Write a note on hydrolysis of salt of weak acid and weak base.

Name a weak base.

Enzymes are proteins. Proteins are long chains of aminoacids linked to each other by peptide bonds. Amino acids have many functional groups in their structure. These functional groups are, many of themat least, ionisable. As they are weak acids and bases in chemical nature, this ionization is influenced by pH of the solution. For many enzymes, activity isinfluenced by surrounding pH. This is depicted in the curve below, explain briefly.

What would be the definition of an acid and a base with reference to the neutralization reaction?

Write examples of Lewis acids and Lewis bases (any one of each).

Explain the hydrolysis of salt of strong acid and weak base.

Discuss hydrolysis of salt of weak acid and strong base.

Classify the following species into Lewis acis and Lewis bases and show how these act as Lewis acid//base : OH^-
