Determine whether each of the following salts will form a solution that is acidic, basic, or pH-neutral.

a. KCl
b. NaClO
c. Al(ClO4)3
d. NH4Cl
e. C5H5NHF
f. NaBr
g. Ca(NO2)2


Sagot :

Answer:

a) Neutral

b) Basic

c) Acidic

d) Acidic

e) Basic

f) Neutral

g)

Explanation:

a) KCl is a neutral salt because K ion in solution form produces both acid and base (KOH)

b) NaClO produces basic solution because ClO− is the conjugate base of a weak acid

c) Al(ClO4)3 will produce acidic solution because ClO4 is component of strong acid

d)  NH4Cl will produce acidic solution because NH4+  ion is a strong conjugate acid of the weak base and Cl- is a weak conjugate base of the strong acid

e) Basic

f) Neutral salt

g) Acidic
