Chapter 16.6, Problem 7PE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The chemical equation for hydrolysis reaction for ${\text{K}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_4$ that represents the basic behavior of the solution is to be stated.

Concept introduction: According to Bronsted-Lowry theory an acid is a species that donates the proton while a base is a species that accepts the proton.

To determine: The chemical equation for hydrolysis reaction for ${\text{K}}_{\text{2}}{\text{SO}}_4$ that represents the basic behavior of the solution.
