Question

Classify the aqeous solution of the following salts into acidic, basic and neutral. (2) NaCl, NaCN, NH4NO3 , CH3COONa ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

NaCl-neutral

NaCN-Basic

NH₄NO₃-Acidic

CH₃COONa - Basic

Answer 2

AQUEOUS SOLUTION -

• The Solution in which water is the solvent.
• The formation of the aqueous solution depends on the chemical bonds or affinity of the solute to dissolve in water.
• A solution is called as neutral when the concentration of hydrogen ions is equal to the hydroxide ions.
• If the concentration of hydrogen ion is more in a solution than hydroxide ion, the solution is called as acidic in nature.
• Basic solution contains more concentration of hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions.
• In the given examples, the aqueous solution of different salts are -

NaCl - Neutral

NaCN - Basic

$NH_4NO_3$ - Acidic

$CH_3COONa$ - Basic
