Chapter 6, Problem 6.43P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Hydrated metal ions like ${\left({\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\right)}_{\text{6}}{\text{Fe}}^{\text{3+}}$ hydrolyse to produce ${\text{H}}^{+}$, however hydrated anions like ${\left({\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\right)}_{\text{6}}{\text{Cl}}^{\text{-}}$ do not hydrolyse to give ${\text{H}}^{+}$. This is why has to be explained.
