Calculate the pH of an aqueous solution of 1.0M ammonium formate assuming complete dissociation. ([ pK_a ] of formic acid = 3.8, [ pK_b ] of ammonia = 4.8)

 

The hydrolysis reaction is a reversible reaction.The process of hydrolysis is a reverse reaction of neutralization.

hydrolysis constant (𝐾ℎ):The equilibrium constant for the hydrolysis reaction multiplied by concentration of water is known as hydrolysis constant. it is represented by Kh.

degree of hydrolysis (h): The fraction of the total salt which is hydrolysed it equilibrium is called degree of hydrolysis. It is denoted by “h”.
