Question
Predict where the following salts wuld be acid, basic orneutral a. KCl (aq) b. NH4Br (aq) c. NaF (aq) Predict where the following salts wuld be acid, basic orneutral a. KCl (aq) b. NH4Br (aq) c. NaF (aq)Explanation / Answer
(a) Neutral KCl + H2O -> KOH + HCl (Strong base and strong acidgives a netural solution which indicates the salt is neutral) (b) acidic NH4Br + H2O -> NH4OH + HBr(NH4OH is weak base and HBr is relatively strong acid,thus the salt is acidic) (c) Neutral NaF + H2O -> NaOH + HF (Strong base and strong acidgives a netural solution which indicates the salt is neutral)
