Which of the following is a basic salt?
Options:
A .  SnCl2
B .  NaCl
C .  HCl
D .  CH3COONa
Answer: Option D
:
D
Basic salts are formed from the neutralisation reaction between astrong base and a weak acid.
Here, sodium acetate (CH3COONa)is a basic salt because it is formed from the reaction between sodium hydroxide which is a strong base(NaOH) and acetic acid (CH3COOH) which is aweak acid. The reaction involved is given below:
NaOH(aq)+CH3COOH(aq)CH3COONa(aq)+H2O(aq)
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is an acid, sodium chloride(NaCl) is a neutral salt and tin chloride(SnCl2) is an acidic salt.
