Properties of salt solutions

The spectator ions in acid-base reactions form salts. Salts completely
ionize in their aqueous solutions. A salt NH4A, the ionizes
NH4A = NH4+ + AThe ions of salts interact with water (called hydration),
A- + H2O = HA + OHIf the anions are stronger base than H2O, the solution is basic.
NH4+ + H2O = NH3 + H3O+
If the cations are stronger acid than H2O, the solution is acidic.
These competitive reactions make the solution acidic or basic
depending on the strength of the acids and bases.

Acidity of Salt Solutions

What is the pH of a 1.0-M NaHCO3 solution? For H2CO3, Ka1 = 4.3e-7
and Ka2 = 4.8e-11.
Solution: In the solution, [Na+] = 1.0 M and [HCO3] = 1.0 M. Two
competitive reaction takes place:
H2O + HCO3 = H2CO3 + OH
HCO3 = H+ + CO32
Kb = Kw / Ka1 = 2.33e-8
Ka2 = 4.8e-11
Thus, HCO3 is a stronger base than an acid. The solution is basic.

Discussion: The overall dissociation constant,
Koverall = Ka1* Ka2 = 2.1e-17
Generalization: if Ka2 < Kb or Ka1*Ka2 < Kw, the solution of NaHA is
basic for the diprotic acid H
182A.

Mass and Charge Balance Equations

In a solution of electrolytes, the stoichiometry leads to mass or material
balance (mbe) and charge balance equations (cbe).
The merit is to consider the various ion species and equilibria in the
solution when we write these equations.
In a 0.10 M NaHCO3 solution,
mbe: 0.10 = [Na+] = [H2CO3] + [HCO3 ] + [CO32 ]
cbe: [Na+] + [H+] = [HCO3 ] + 2 [CO32 ] + [OH]
Consider these equilibrium eqn
for mbe and cbe:
NaHCO3 = Na+ + HCO3HCO3- + H2O = H2CO3 + OHHCO3- + H2O = CO32- + H3O+

Review
In solving x in problems involving equilibrium constant, how do
we know which method to use.
When can we neglect x?
Also, when can we use something like Successive Approxiamation?
In the example given in class, K was quite small, so as done
in other examples, I probably would have neglected x.
Then there is Newton's method where we plug in trial values for x.
How do we know where a good place is to start?

Technically x could be any value!
