Question

identify whether the following salts would produce acidic basic or neutral solutions NaHSO4 NaF KBr KNO2 NH4NO3

Answer 1

NaHSO4 --> NA+ and HSO4-

HSO4- will donate H+ so it is slightly acidic

NaF --> Na + F-

H2O + F- -> HF + OH; basic

KBr = neutral since strong/Acid salt

KNO2 K+ + NO2-

NO2- + H2O <-> HNO2 + OH-; basic

NH4NO3 --> NH4+ +NO3-

NH4+ -> NH3 + H3O+; acidic
