Answer #1

1. NaCN + H2O -------------------> NaOH + HCN

NaOH is strong base while HCN, is a weak acid, as a result solution will be basic and pH be greater than 7

2.  KClO + H2O -------------------> KOH + HClO

KOH is strong base while HClO, is a weak acid, as a result solution will be basic and pH be greater than 7

3. CaCl2 + 2H2O -------------------> Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl

Ca(OH)2 is strong base while HCl, is a strong acid, as a result solution will tend to be neutral and pH equal to 7

4. NH4Br + H2O -------------------> NH4OH + HBr

NH4OH is weak base while HBr, is a strong acid, as a result solution will be acidic and pH be less than 7

Your one thumbs up will help me lot. Thanks!
