Calculate the hydronium ion concentration and for a solution of sodium formate, .
Solutions
VerifiedIn this task, we need to calculate H ion concentration and pH.
First we need to determine where the ion comes from.
If they are derived from a strong acid and a strong base they do not undergo hydrolysis and thus form neutral solutions ( no effect on solution pH ).
If they are derived from weak acid or weak base, they undergo hydrolysis.
Hydrolysis is the cleavage of molecules of covalent chemical compounds in a reaction with water, where the hydrogen atom of water combines with one, and the hydroxyl group with the other decomposition product
If a salt contains the ion of a weak acid, the ion produces an basic solution (OH is formed):
If a salt contains the ion of a weak base, the ion produces an acidic solution (HO is formed):
Our task is to calculate concentration of hydronium ions and in a solution of sodium formate with initial concentration of . value for formate ion is (from Table ).
