Answer 1

Answer:

(a) sodium chloride HCI

NaOH

basic

Answer 2

The correct answer to this question is Option (d).

Explanation:

We know that in the reaction of an acid with a base as a product, salts are formed.

These Salts can be classified into three types based on the power of the reactants from which they are made:

1. Neutral Salt: The salt formed from a strong acid and strong base is called a neutral salt.
2. Acidic Salt: The salt formed from a strong acid, but a weak base is called an acidic salt.
3. Basic Salt: The salt formed from a strong base, but a weak acid is called a basic salt.

Now, let us check the options in our given question one by one:

• In option (A), a salt Sodium chloride (NaCl) is formed by the reaction of Strong acid i.e., HCl, and a strong base i.e., NaOH. Thus, the salt is neutral.
• In option (B), a salt Sodium Carbonate (Na2CO3) is formed by the reaction of weak acid i.e., H2CO3, and a strong base i.e., NaOH. Thus, the salt is basic.
• In Option (C), a salt Sodium Sulphate (Na2SO4) is formed by the reaction of Strong acid i.e., H2SO4, and a strong base i.e., NaOH. Thus, the salt is neutral.
• In Option (D), a salt Sodium Acetate (CH3COONa) is formed by the reaction of weak acid i.e., CH3COOH, and a strong base i.e., NaOH. Thus, the salt is basic.

Thus, option (d) is the correct option.
