Question

A base which reacts with an acid to give a salt which on hydrolysis gives a slightly acidic solution

Answer 1

when strong acid react with weak base formed product salt and water
this solution is acidic
and second topic strong base react with weak acid form product salt and water
this solution is basic

Answer 2

Answer: This solution is formed by the mixing of strong acid and weak base.

Explanation:

An acid is defined as the substance which looses hydrogen ion or hydronium ions when dissolved in water.

A base is defined as the substance which looses hydroxide ions when dissolved in water.

A salt is formed when an acid reacts with a base.

• When a weak acid and strong base reacts, it leads to the formation of a basic solution.
• When a strong acid and weak base reacts, it leads to the formation of acidic solution.
• When a strong acid and strong base or weak acid and weak base reacts, it leads to the formation of a neutral solution.

Hence, an acidic solution is formed by the combination of strong acid and weak base.
