Question

What may happen when Na2SO4 is hydrolysis?

Answer 1

You get ionization of the solid....i.e. speciation of the neutral salt to give the aquated ions...

Explanation:

`Na_2SO_4(s) stackrel(H_2O)rarr2Na^+ +SO_4^(2-)`

The ions are present in aqueous solution as their aquated ions...

`Na^(+)-=[Na(OH_2)_6]^+`...

`SO_4^(2-)-=[SO_4]^(2-)*(H_2O)_n`...or similar...
