Question

WHAT ARE ACID SALTS ?(THE ONE WHO ANSWERS FATER WILL BE MARKED AS BRAINLIEST

Answer 1

Acid salt- a salt formed by incomplete replacement of the hydrogen of an acid. For example- potassium hydrogen sulphate (KHSO4). In other words, a salt in which not all of the ionizable hydrogen of the acid is replaced by the electropositive element; for example, NaHSO4, KH2PO4. Synonym(s): protosalt. Hope I helped u.. Plz mark as the BRAINLIEST answer..

Answer 2

Answer- The above question is from the chapter 'Acids, Bases and Salts'.

Let's know about acids, bases and salts first.

Acids: These are substances in which taste sour. They contain H⁺ ions.

Example: HCl, H₂SO₄, H₂CO₃, etc.

Strong acids have more H⁺ (aq) ions than weak acids.

Strong acids are HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃, etc.

Weak acids are H₂CO₃, H₃PO₄, etc.

Acids have pH less than 7.

Bases: These are substances in which taste bitter. They contain OH⁻ ions.

Example: KOH, NaOH, Ca(OH)₂, Mg(OH)₂ etc.

Strong bases have more OH⁻ (aq) ions than weak bases.

Strong bases are KOH, NaOH, Ca(OH)₂, etc.

Weak bases are Mg(OH)₂, NH₄OH, etc.

Bases have pH more than 7.

Neutralisation Reaction: When a strong acid and a strong base react with each other, they form salt and water.

This salt has a pH = 7.

Given question: What are acidic salts?

Answer: The salts which have been formed after the reaction of a strong acid and a weak base are called acidic salts.

Strong acids are HCl, H₂SO₄, HNO₃, etc.
