Detailed Solution

large C{H_3}COON{H_4}xrightarrow{{}}C{H_3}CO{O^ - }left( {aq} right) + NH_4^ + left( {aq} right)

 

Both the acid radical and the basic radical are derivative of weak electrolytes, so both of them will undergo hydrolysis.

large C{H_3}CO{O^ - } + {H_2}O rightleftharpoons C{H_3}COOH + O{H^-}
large NH_4^ + + {H_2}O rightleftharpoons N{H_4}OH + {H^ + }
large OR
large C{H_3}CO{O^ - } + NH_4^ + + {H_2}O rightleftharpoons C{H_3}COOH + N{H_4}OH

For the above hydrolysis reaction, we need to find the hydrolysis cosntant, Kh

Consider the following equilibria,

large NH_4^ + + O{H^ - } rightleftharpoons N{H_4}OH;frac{1}{{{K_b}}} to left( 2 right)
large C{H_3}CO{O^ - } + {H^ + } rightleftharpoons C{H_3}COOH;frac{1}{{Ka}} to left( 3 right)
large {H_2}O rightleftharpoons {H^ + } + O{H^ - };{K_w} to left( 4 right)
large Adding{text{ 2, 3 and 4,}}
large C{H_3}CO{O^ - } + NH_4^ + + {H_2}O rightleftharpoons N{H_4}OH + C{H_3}COOH
large {K_{eq}} = {K_w} times frac{1}{{{K_a}}} times frac{1}{{{K_b}}}
