Hydrolysis of Salt:
Using the universal indicator we had to determine the pH of potassium chloride, and the results i got was pH- 7.5 .
Now i have to explain this with a equation to show hydrolysis.
I dunno how to write it out, but i think KCL should be neutral.

Yes, it should be neutral.
KCl(aq) ==> K^+ + Cl^-
K^+ + HOH ==> No reaction (no hydrolysis).
Cl^- + H2O ==> no reaction (no hydrolysis); that is, H2O is a stronger base than Cl^-(H2O pulls its proton more than Cl^-).
