Question

State true or false - Salt is acidic.

Answer 1

Salt is acidic.

The statement is False.

A pH scale can be used to measure whether it is acidic or basic.

i) If pH is less than 7, it is acidic.

ii) if pH is 7, it is neutral.

iii) if pH is more than 7, it is basic.

Hence, the salt is neutral.

Answer 2

" False "

This can be explained as NaCl are formed by two highly acidic and basic compounds namely

Sodium hydroxide and Hydrochloric acid

Here both are strong hence, their slat must be neutral.
