Question

explain why the aqueous potassium chloride solution is neutral in character?​

Answer 1

Answer:Potassium chloride is a salt of strong acid (HCl) and strong base (KOH). When it is dissolved in water,it shows following reaction.

KCl + H₂O——>KOH + HCl

Ionic reaction according to ionic theory can be gven as

K+ Cl- + H₂O—->K+ + OH- + H+ + Cl-

Common ions from both sides get cancelled,we get

H₂O——->H+ + OH-

As solution contains equal number of H+ and OH- ions,aqueous solution of potassium chloride is neutral in nature.
