AcidsLesson 5
Acid Rain & Hydrolysis
Normal Rain has pH = 6 due to dissolved CO2
CO2 + H2O → H2CO3
Acid Rain
Acid Rain is caused by acid anhydrides
NO2 N2O4 automobile pollution
coal & smelter pollutionSO3SO2
SO3 + H2O → H2SO4(aq) Acid Rain has pH < 5
Acid rain dissolves metal, limestone, concrete structures.
Acid rain decreases the pH of lakes and causes toxic metals to leach into them.
Hydrolysis of Salts
HCl → NaCl + HOH
strong acid strong base neutral salt
NaCl Consider the acid and base that makes NaCl
1. Neutral Salts
+ NaOH
→ Na+ + Cl-NaCl
Hydrolysis of Salts
→ NaCN + HOHHCN
weak acid strong base basic salt
Consider NaCN
+ NaOH
2. Basic Salts
→ Na+ + CN-
A basic salt will first dissociate in water
CN- ⇄ HCN + OH-
Hydrolysis
neutral base- negative ions are bases
NaCN
+ H2O
Cross off all bold ions- they do not hydrolyze and are neutral
Neutral
Acidic
Hydrolysis of Salts 3. Acidic Salts
→ NH4 +
+ Cl- HCl
strong acid weak base acid salt
NH4Cl
+ NH3
positive ions are acids
NH4Cl → NH4+ + Cl- positive ion- acid

NH4+ ⇄ H3O+
Hydrolysis
+ NH3+ H2O
Cross off all bold ions- they do not hydrolyze and are neutral
Remaining amphriprotic ions are acidic
Neutral
Acidic
Basic
NH3 is a weak base

Hydrolysis- when the positive or negative ion in a salt reacts with water as an acid or base.
Look for the reaction on the acid chart!
