What is Simple salts ? Give its types. |

Answer» The salts formed by the neutralisation process between acid and base. These are of three types: (i) Normal salt : (i) The salt formed by the loss of all possible protons (replaceable H+ ions) Ex: NaCl, NaNO3, K2SO4 , Ca3 (PO4)2, Na3 BO3, Na2 HPO3, NaH2 PO2 etc. (ii) Acid salts : (i) Salts formed by incomplete neutralisation of polybasic acids. Such salts contain one or more replaceable H atom. Ex: NaHCO3 , NaHSO4 , NaH2 PO4, Na2 HPO4 etc. (ii) Above salts when neutralized by base form normal salts. (iii) Basic salts : (i) Salts formed by in complete neutralisation of poly acidic bases are called basic salts. These salt contain one or more hydroxyl groups. Ex: Zn(OH)Cl, Mg(OH)Cl, Fe(OH)2 Cl, Bi(OH)2 Cl etc. (ii) Above salts when neutralised by acids form normal salts. |
