Question

In which of the following salts only cationic hydrolysis is involved?

• A. $\text{C}\text{H}_{3}\text{C}\text{O}\text{O}\text{N}\text{H}_{4}$
• B. $\text{C}\text{H}_{3}\text{C}\text{O}\text{O}\text{N}\text{a}$
• C. $\text{N}\text{H}_{4}\text{C}\text{l}$
• D. $\text{N}\text{a}_{2}\text{S}\text{O}_{4}$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Cationic hydrolysis

$\text{Strong }\text{Acid} \, + \, \text{Weak }\text{Base}$

$\therefore $ $\text{N}\text{H}_{4}\text{C}\text{l}$

$\text{N}\text{H}_{3}+\text{H}\text{C}\text{l}$

$\text{Weak }\text{Base} \, +$ $\text{Strong }\text{Acid}$
