The correct answer is: (p)-2,(q)-3,(r)-1,(s)-4
(p) Neither K+ nor SO42- ions undergo hydrolysis. So it is neutral.
(q) Sodium ions are not hydrolyzed, but acetate ions hydrolyze to form strong base, OH-
CH3COO-+H2OCH3COOHweakacid+OH-strongbase
(r)Cl- ions are not hydrolyzed. NH4+ hydrolyse to form strong acid, H3O+ .
NH4++H2ONH3weakbase+H3O+strongacid
(s)Ca2+ and HCOO- ions are hydrolyzed to form an acid and a base, but the pH cannot be predicted without the knowledge of hydrolysis constants of Ca2+ and HCOO- .
