Question
Which one is an acidic salt?
Answer: Option A
:
A
Salts of a strong acid and a strong base are neutral with pH value of 7. On the other hand, salts of a strong acid and weak base are acidic with pH value less than 7 and those of a strong base and weak acid are basic in nature, with pH value more than 7.
∙NH4Cl is a salt of weak base(NH4OH) and strong acid (HCl).Hence, it is a acidic salt.
∙CH3COONa is salt of weak acid(CH3COOH) and strong base (NaOH). Hence, it is a basic salt.
∙KCl is salt of strong acid(HCl) and strong base(KOH). Hence, it is a neutral salt.
∙NaCl is salt of strong acid(HCl) and strong base(NaOH). Hence, it is a neutral salt.
