Most textbooks of general and analytical chemistry deal with the subject of hydrolysis by considering separately the limiting cases of salts formed by a weak acid and a strong base or vice versa. Usually, the hydrolysis of a salt formed by both strong electrolytes does not deserve a quantitative discussion, and the discussion it receives is reduced to a statement that its pH is the same as that of pure water. Hydrolysis of salts formed by both weak electrolytes is currently omitted.1
