Answer 2

In general, salts represent (a) an ionic compound.

(a) are ionic compounds- correct option

• It is the primary mineral component of seawater, which contains significant amounts of it.
• Animal existence depends on salt, and one of the fundamental human tastes is saltiness.
• The neutralization process between acids and bases produces salt, an ionic compound having a cation other than H+ and an anion other than OH-, along with water.
• Hence, this is the correct option.

(b) contain hydrogen ions- incorrect option

• A cation (base) and an anion are both present in salt, which is an ionic substance (acid).
• Acidic salts are those created when a diprotic or polyprotic acid is partially neutralized.
• Along with another cation, these salts contain the ionizable H+ ion.
• The anion contains the majority of the ionizable H+.
• But this types of salts are not generally found.
• Hence, it is an incorrect option.

(c) contain hydroxide ions- incorrect option

• A basic salt is the substance created when a strong base is partially neutralized by a weak acid.
• To create a simple solution, they hydrolyze.
• It's because the conjugate base of the weak acid is created in the solution when the hydrolysis of basic salt occurs.
• Again, such salts are not found generally and that's what the question asks.
• Hence, this is an incorrect option.

(d) turn blue litmus red- incorrect option

• The primary purpose of litmus is to determine whether a solution is acidic or basic.
• Light blue litmus paper turns red under acidic conditions, while red litmus paper turns blue under basic or alkaline conditions, in a pH range of 4.5-8.3 at 25 °C (77 °F).
• As salt is a neutral compound, it cannot turn blue litmus into red.
• Hence, this is an incorrect option.
