Vedclass · Answer

(A) The salt $NaOCN$ is a salt of a strong base $(NaOH)$ and a weak acid $(HOCN)$.For such a salt,the degree of hydrolysis $h$ is given by the formula: $h = \sqrt{\frac{K_h}{C}} = \sqrt{\frac{K_w}{K_a 	imes C}}$.Given: $K_w = 10^{-14}$,$K_a = 3.33 	imes 10^{-4}$,and $C = 0.003 \ M = 3 	imes 10^{-3} \ M$.Substituting the values: $h = \sqrt{\frac{10^{-14}}{3.33 	imes 10^{-4} 	imes 3 	imes 10^{-3}}} = \sqrt{\frac{10^{-14}}{10^{-6}}} = \sqrt{10^{-8}} = 10^{-4}$.The percentage hydrolysis is $h 	imes 100 = 10^{-4} 	imes 100 = 0.01 \%$.
