AIPMT MAINS 2009 Chemistry Hydrolysis of Salts MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Hard-Class 11

The ionization constant of ammonium hydroxide is 1.77 × 10⁻⁵ at 298 K. Hydrolysis constant of ammonium chloride is:

A

6.50 × 10⁻¹²

B

5.65 × 10⁻¹³

C

5.65 × 10⁻¹²

D

5.65 × 10⁻¹⁰

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The hydrolysis constant (K_h) can be calculated using the relation K_w = K_b × K_h, where K_w is the ion product of water (1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ at 298 K). Solving gives K_h = 5.65 × 10⁻¹⁰.
