State what will be the effect of each of the following solution on blue litmus –(1) K2CO3 soln(2) KCl soln.(3) NH4NO3 |
|
Answer» 1. K2CO3 is a salt of a strong base (KOH) and weak acid (H2CO3 ). Hence its aqueous solution will be basic in nature. It will have no effect on blue litmus solution. 2. KCl is a salt of a strong acid (HCl) and a strong base (KOH). Hence its aqueous solution will be neutral in nature. It will have no effect on blue litmus solution. 3. NH4NO3 is a salt of a strong acid (HNO3) and weak base (NH4OH). Hence its aqueous solution will be acidic in nature. It will turn blue litmus solution red. |
