Question

Separate acid and alkali radical from the following compound

and write them with their charge.

(a) CuSO4 (b) CH3COONH4 (C) MgCl2 (d) KNO3 (e) Ca(OH) 2​

Answer 1

Answer:

All negative charged or radicals in a salt....is called acidic radicals

and positive charge in a solt is called alkali radical

1)Cu^+ + SO4^2-

2)CH3COO^- +( NH4)^-4 (aq)

3) Mg^2+ + 2Cl^-

4)K^+ + NO3^-

5)Ca^2+ + 2OH^-1

now +ve term is alkali

and -ve term is acidic
