Question

(a) What do you mean by the family of salts?
(b) Why do HCl, HNO3, etc., show acidic characters in aqueous solutions while solutions of compounds like alcohol and glucose do not show acidic character ?
(c) A weak acid is added to a concentrated solution of hydrochloric acid. Does the solution become more or less acidic ?

Answer 1

so long your question

please don't send this type of questions.

Answer 2

Salts and acids

Explanation:

a) Family of salts

Salts having common acidic or basic radicals are said to belong to same family.

Example: Sodium chloride (NaCl) and Calcium chloride (CaCl2) belong to chloride family. Calcium chloride (CaCl2) and calcium sulphate (CaSO4) belong to calcium family.

b) HCl and and HNO3 show acidic behaviour in aqueous solution as they disassociate in water to produce Hydrogen ions, while solution of glucose and alcohol do not form ions in water.

c) When a weak acid is added to its concentrated form, the solution will become less acidic because the weak acid will dilute the strength of the concentrate acid.
