A problem in solubility of salts with multistep hydrolysis of an ion possible
Calculate the solubility of $\ce{MnS}$ in pure water, $K_\mathrm{sp}(\ce{MnS}) = \pu{2.5e-10}$. Assume hydrolysis of $\ce{S^2-}$ ion. $K_1$ and $K_2$ for $\ce{H2S}$ are $10^{-7}$ and $10^{-14}$, ...

Why is the hydrolysis of the conjugate base of a weak acid neglected in buffer solutions?
Consider a solution which contains a weak acid and the salt of its conjugate base with a strong base.
e.g. $$\ce{CH3COOH + H2O <=>[$K_\rm{a}$] CH3COO- + H3O+}\tag1$$
$$\ce{CH3COO- + H2O <=&...

What an aqueous solution really contains?
I want to know what an aqueous solution is. For example, let's consider a $1~\mathrm{M}$ aqueous solution of $\ce{MgCl2}$. Does it also contain $\ce{MgOH2}$? Though it is a simple question, I feel it ...
