Salt hydrolysis occurs when ions from a dissolved salt react with water, affecting pH. For instance, ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) solution becomes slightly acidic because NH4+ donates protons to water. Conversely, sodium acetate (CH3COONa) forms a basic solution as acetate ions consume protons. Understanding salt hydrolysis is crucial for predicting pH of ionic solutions and designing buffers.
