Question

which of the following salts is the most basic in aqueous solution (1) CH3COOK (2) FeCl3 (3) Pb(CH3COO)2 (4) Al(CN)3

Answer 1

you ans (1)

holp it help you

Answer 2

The salt (1) $\bold{CH_3COOK}$ exhibits a strong base character.

Explanation:

Any salt which is formed using a string base and a weak acid is more basic in an aqueous solution. Therefore, the salt $CH_3COOK$ is a salt which will be most basic in the aqueous solution.

This is because it is made from a strong base and a weak acid. When dissolved in an aqueous solution, the salt $CH_3COOK$ gives $CH_3COO + KOH$

KOH is a very strong base.
