Salt hydrolysis :

Question

Aqueous solution of KCl is neutral because

Easy

A

K⁺ undergoes hydrolysis
B

Cl^- undergoes hydrolysis
C

Both K⁺ amd Cl^- undergo hydrolysis
D

No hydrolysis takes place

Solution

$K^{+} + {Cl}^{-} + H_{2} O \to K^{+} + {OH}^{-} + H^{+} + {Cl}^{-}; H_{2} O \to H^{+} + {OH}^{-};$
Both the basic radical and acid radical are derived from strong base and strong acid respectively, so both of them will not undergo hydrolysis.
