Question

Predict the acidic, basic or neutral nature of the solutions of the following salts:

NaCI, KBr, NaCN, NH₄NO₃ , NaNO₂ , KF

Answer 1

NaCN, NaNO₂ , KF solutions are basic, as they are salts of strong base, weak acid. NaCl, KBr solutions are neutral, as they are salts, of strong acid, strong base.

NH₄ NO₃ solution is acidic, as it is a salt of strong acid, weak base.
