Question

classify the following as normal, acid and basic salts giving reasons for your answer:- KCl, KHCO3, Na2SO4, CuSO4, FeSO4, CH3COONa

Answer 1

Answer:

Potassium Sulphate(K2SO4) is prepared by combining KOH(potassium Hydroxide) and H2SO4(Sulphuric Acid). As H2SO4 is a strong acid and KOH is a strong base,so K2SO4 is a neutral salt.

Explanation:

A strong acid is an acid which is completely ionized in an aqueous solution. Hydrogen chloride (HCl) ionizes completely into hydrogen ions and chloride ions in water. A weak acid is an acid that ionizes only slightly in an aqueous solution. Acetic acid (found in vinegar) is a very common weak acid.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Of Na2Co3, NaCl, Nh4Cl, CH3COONa-

Na2Co3 is a basic salt hence, it will give basic solution.

NaCl is a neutral salt hence, it will give a neutral solution.

NH4Cl is an acidic salt hence, it will give an acidic solution.

CH3COONa is a basic salt hence, it will give a basic solution.
