An aqueous solution of which of the following salts is basic? (a) CH3

1.	An aqueous solution of which of the following salts is basic? (a) CH3COONa (b) NH4Cl (c) KNO3(d) CuSO4
Answer» (A) \(CH_3 COONa\) The solution of salts of weak acid and strong base are basic in nature. Here, \(CH_3 COONa\) is salts of weak acid (\(CH_3COOH\)) and strong base \((NaOH)\). Therefore, its aqueous solution is basic in nature. Option : (a) CH₃COONa

An aqueous solution of which of the following salts is basic? (a) CH3COONa (b) NH4Cl (c) KNO3(d) CuSO4

Answer»

(A) \(CH_3 COONa\)

The solution of salts of weak acid and strong base are basic in nature.

Here, \(CH_3 COONa\) is salts of weak acid (\(CH_3COOH\)) and strong base \((NaOH)\).

Therefore, its aqueous solution is basic in nature.

Option : (a) CH₃COONa
