Is Barium chloride an acid or base?
AnswerNeither, it's a salt. but its aqueous solution is slightly acidic due to hydrolysis of salt.
What is Opposite of a decomposition reaction?
Dehydration Synthesis
Does hydrolysis use ATP?
The hydrolysis of ATP is ADP
What is a reaction that breaks down compounds by the addition of water?
Hydrolysis is the type of reaction occurring when complex molecules are broken down into simpler ones by the addition of water.Example:Hydrolysis of a molecule of a disaccharide, such as sucrose, into two molecules of a monosaccharide, such as glucose.C12H22O11 + H2O ---> 2C6H12O6
What does hydrolysis of a ketal produces?
The hydrolysis of a ketal yields a ketone and two alcohols.
When ZnSO4 undergoes salt hydrolysis are the products acidic or basic?
yes it is a neutral salt
What is hydrolysis of salts in water?
This is a "reaction" with water, a dissociation of the salt in ions.
Use of NaCl in DNA Hydrolysis?
Salt is used to separate DNA.
What happens when a salt undergoes hydrolysis?
when a salt dissolves in water, more positive than negative ions are released
How do you hydrolysis salt?
If you think to sodium chloride this compound is not hydrolyzed but dissolved in water.
Does salt break down acid and bases?
When the salt is derived from a weak acid or/and a weak base, they will be in equilibrium with their salts. This procedure is called as hydrolysis.
How is cation hydrolysis different from anion hydrolysis?
When a neutral salt is dissolved in water, it will break down into its consituant ions. The positive ions are called Cations, while the negative ions are the Anions.
Is MgSO4 7H2O acidic in solution?
Yes its aqueous solution is acidic in nature due to hydrolysis of salt.
Give the hydrolysis of diazonium salt?
Diazonium salts are unstable compounds, aromatic diazonium compound on hydrolysis give phenol and Nitrogen gas. C6H5-N2+Cl- + NaOH(Aq.) = C6H5-OH + N2 + NaCl
What are the products of the acid catalyzed hydolysis of a fat?
Hydrolysis is the process of breaking down a compound with the action of water. The products of the acid catalyzed hydrolysis of a fat are fatty acids and glycerol.
What is the difference between acidic and alkaline hydrolysis?
Acidic hydrolysis: hydrolysis in an acid solution (pH under 7) Basic hydrolysis: hydrolysis in a basic solution (pH above 7)
Is ammonium sulphate a base or acid?
Ammonium sulfate is a neutral salt which shows alkaline behavior in solution due to the hydrolysis of the ammonium ion.
