Identify the acid and base in the
following salts.
A. Iron chloride
B. Potassium sulphate
Answers
Answer:
A. ferrous hydroxide is a base and hydrochloric acid is acid
B. potassium hydroxide is base and sulphuric acid is the acid
Answer:
The cation will be a spectator. Thus the basic salts will be composed of a spectator ion like sodium, Na+, potassium, K+ or something like that and an anion that is the conjugate base of the acid. They can be identified as they are the same compound as the weak acid but they are "missing" a H+. define short In acid – base chemistry, salts are ionic compounds that result from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. Basic salts contain the conjugate base of a weak acid, so when they dissolve in water, they react with water to yield a solution with pH greater than 7.0.
Explanation:
To determine whether a substance is an acid or a base, count the hydrogens on each substance before and after the reaction. If the number of hydrogens has decreased that substance is the acid (donates hydrogen ions). If the number of hydrogens has increased that substance is the base (accepts hydrogen ions). please mark me brainlist
