Answer 2

The answers are as follows -

(a) This statement is absolutely true.

• An inorganic acid obtained from non-living things or minerals is a mineral acid.

(b) This statement is false for sure.

• The salts formed by the reaction of acetic acid would be called acetates and will not be called sulphates.

(c) This statement is absolutely true.

• The dissociation of salts in water into their constituent cations and anions makes salt water a powerful electrolyte and hence can conduct electricity.

(d) This statement is absolutely true.

• In chemistry, alkalis are ionic salts of alkaline metals or alkaline earth metals (generally s-block elements) that readily dissolve in water.

(e) This statement is false for sure.

• Acetic acid consists of 2 carbon atoms in its molecule, which makes it an organic acid and declines the possibility of it being a mineral acid.
