Lesson 6
Acid Rain &
Hydrolysis
Acid Rain
The cause of Acid Rain is the release of acid anhydrides into the
environment.
Acid rain decreases the pH of lakes and causes toxic metals to leach into
them.
Hydrolysis of Salts
1. Neutral Salts
Consider NaCl
1. Neutral Salts
Consider NaCl
→ NaCl + HOH
Hydrolysis of Salts
1. Neutral Salts
Consider NaCl
H + OH → NaCl + HOH

Consider NaCl
When the acid and base parents are both strong the salt is always
neutral.
-
A neutral salt will dissociate in water.
NaCl → Na+ + Cl- no ions to hydrolyze- neutral
Cross off the both ions that come from strong parents as they do not
hydrolyze or react further with water- they are neutral.
Hydrolysis of Salts
2. Basic Salts
Consider NaCN

Consider NaCN
H + OH → NaCN + HOH

Consider NaCN
2. Basic Salts
Consider NaCN
Cross off the Na+ because it has a strong parent and does not
hydrolyze- it is neutral
Then the CN- ion, from the weak parent, will hydrolyze (react with
water) as a Bronsted base.
3. Acidic Salts
Consider NH4Cl
→ NH4Cl

4. Acidic Salts
Consider FeCl3
Fe(H2O)63+ ⇄ H+ + Fe(H2O)5(OH)2+
