Lecture 21 – Cations, Anions and Hydrolysis in Water

3 Note the similarity of the equation for the hydrolysis of a hydrated cation with the equation for the ionization of a weak acid in aqueous solution. The K eq for the hydrolysis of a hydrated cation is analogous to the K a for the ionization of a weak acid. K eq is an acid ionization constant. Generally, hydrolysis constants for cations are tabulated as …
