Chemical equations salt hydrolysis

In salts formed from a weak acid and weak base, the cation and anion both undergo hydrolysis. For example, when aluminum sulfide is placed in water, Al + reacts with OH , forming Al(OH)3, and S " reacts with H+, forming H2S. The reaction is shown hy the following chemical equation. 

The organoleptic stability of an ingredient depends on a combination of two factors its sensory characteristics and its chemical stability. The latter, of course, is determined by the nature of the product base. Antiperspirant formulations are acidic because of partial hydrolysis of the active antiperspirant agents, such as aluminium chlorhydrate (equation 1). It is an inorganic salt that consists essentially of complex aluminium chloride described empirically as [Al2(OH)5] .nCl. The complex is polymeric and loosely hydrated. 

There are several methods for the evaluation of chemical compositions of polyphosphates produced by the hydrolysis of sodium meta-arsenate-phosphates. The first step of these methods is based on the isolation of polyphosphates as the silver salts. Crystals of sodium meta-arsenate-phosphate are dissolved by the above procedure. After the pH of the resulting solution is adjusted to 7.5, a 10% excess of IM silver nitrate is added. In the course of this treatment, silver arsenate precipitates, while the quantity of hydrogen ion is released according to the equation. 

The chemical synthesis of metal oxide nanocrystals based on hydrolysis falls into two major groups hydrolysis of metal alkoxides hydrolysis of metal halides, and other inorganic salts. Metal alkoxide compounds are defined as compounds that have metal-oxygen-carbon bonds. Si(OC2H5)4 (tetraethyl orthosUicate or TEOS), for instance, is an alkoxide compound. This class of compound is highly reactive with water. Because the hydroxyl ion (OH ) becomes bonded to the metal of the organic precursor, this reaction is called hydrolysis. Equation (50) shows a typical hydrolytic reaction of an alkoxide compound [100] ...
