Question

calculate the degree of hydrolysis of ammonium acetate the dissociation constant for nh4oh h is 4 X 10 ^- 5 and that of CH3COOH is 1.8 X 10 ^-5

Answer 1

Answer:

each of NH4OH  and CH3COOH   degree of hydrolysis is not define

Explanation:

Answer 2

The degree of hydrolysis of ammonium acetate is equal to 3.72*10^-3.

• The degree of hydrolysis is the fraction of salt which when dissolved in water exists in its hydrolyzed form.
• The hydrolysis constant for a salt of weak acid and weak base is given by  Kh = Kw/(Ka*Kb).
• The degree of hydrolysis for the salt of weak acid and weak base is equal to the square root of the hydrolysis constant $\sqrt{Kh}$.
• Hence, substituting the values of Kw, Ka, Kb in the above equation we get, the degree of hydrolysis to be equal to 3.72*10^-3.
