When a salt reacts with water to form acidic (or ) basic solution the process is called salt hydrolysis. The P^(H) of salt solution can be calculated using the following relation P^(H) =(1)/(2) [P^(k_w) +P^(Ka) + log C ] for salt of weak acid and strong base. P^(H) =(1)/(2) [P^(K_w) -P^(K_a) -log C ] for salt of weak base and strong acid , P^(H) =(1)/(2) [P^(K_w) +P^(K_a) - P^(K_b) ] For a salt of weak acid and weak base where .c. represents the concentration of salt . When a weak acid (or) a weak base is not completly neatralised by strong base (or ) strong acid respectively, then formation of buffer takes places.
