Question

Iron111 chloride is acidic while sodium carbonate is basic explain

Answer 1

Iron(lll) chloride is acidic because it is formed by the reaction of a strong acid(HCl) with a weak base(Fe(OH)₃)

             Fe(OH)₃  +  3HCl  ----------------->   FeCl₃  +  3H₂O

Sodium carbonate is basic because it is formed by the reaction of a strong base(NaOH) with a weak acid(H₂CO₃)

         H₂CO₃   +   2NaOH   ------------------>   Na₂CO₃   +   2H₂O
