Equilibrium - Result Question 39

####41. Which of the following salts will give highest pH in water?

[2014]

(a) KCl

(b) NaCl

(c) Na2CO3

(d) CuSO4

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (c) Na2CO3 is a salt of strong base (NaOH) and weak acid (H2CO3). On hydrolysis this salt will produce strongly basic solution. i.e. pH will be highest (pH>7) for this sotluion. Others are combination of KCl= Strong acid + Strong base

arrow neutral solution (pH7)

NaCl= Strong acid + Strong base

arrow neutral solution (pH7)

CuSO4= Strong acid + wake base

arrow Acidic solution (pH<7 )
