Salts that are from strong bases and strong acids do not hydrolyze. Salts that are from strong bases and weak acids do hydrolyze, which gives it a pH greater than 7. Salts of weak bases and strong acids do hydrolyze, which gives it a pH less than 7.

Amines are derivatives of Ammonia (NH₃) in which atleast one hydrogen atom is replaced by an alkyl group. Amines are further classifies as;

Primary Amines:
In primary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two hydrogen atoms and one alkyl group.

Secondary Amines:
In secondary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to two alkyl groups and one hydrogen atom.

Tertiary Amines:
In tertiary amines the nitrogen atom is attached to three alkyl groups, hence it has no hydrogen atom.

Below are three isomers of tertiary amines with molecular formula C₅H₁₃N.

EXTRA POINTSSS 1. A solution at 25 degrees Celsius is 1.0 × 10–5 M H3O+. What is the concentration of OH– in this solution?

Answer:

Concentration of OH⁻:

1.0 × 10⁻⁹ M.

Explanation:

The following equilibrium goes on in aqueous solutions:

$\text{H}_2\text{O}\;(l)\rightleftharpoons \text{H}^{+}\;(aq) + \text{OH}^{-}\;(aq)$ .

The equilibrium constant for this reaction is called the self-ionization constant of water:

$K_w = [\text{H}^{+}]\cdot[\text{OH}^{-}]$ .

Note that water isn't part of this constant.

The value of $K_w$ at 25 °C is $10^{-14}$ . How to memorize this value?

The pH of pure water at 25 °C is 7.
$[\text{H}^{+}] = 10^{-\text{pH}} = 10^{-7}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$
However, $[\text{OH}^{-}] = [\text{H}^{+}]=10^{-7}\;\text{mol}\cdot\text{dm}^{-3}$ for pure water.
As a result, $K_w = [\text{H}^{+}] \cdot[\text{OH}^{-}] = (10^{-7})^{2} = 10^{-14}$ at 25 °C.
