Question

Identify the basic salt a) na2co3 b)

Answer 1

Answer:

Basic salts are those salts which are formed by the reaction of weak acid and strong base. Basic salts are also called alkali salts. Alkali salts are base in nature rather than being neutral because of strong base as a reactant. Its pH is greater than 7. Example of basic salts are Calcium carbonate (CaCO3), Sodium acetate (NaOOCCH3), Potassium cyanide (KCN) and Sodium sulfide (Na2S).

Na2CO3 is formed by strong base and weak acid. so, Na2CO3 is a basic salt.
