An amphoteric salt is one that encloses an anion that can act as either an acid or a base in water. Baking soda, NaHCO3 is an example. By combining the ionization as well as hydrolysis reactions of the anion, we acquire the principle reaction that occurs when this salt is dissolved in water. 2HCO3- --->CO3 2- +H2CO3 the ph for such a solution is pka1+pka2/2 Compute the pH of NaHCO3 solution
