What type of salts are Na_(2)HPO_(3) and NaHS ?

Answer»

Solution :
`Na_(2)HPO_(3)` is obtained by REACTION between NaOH and `H_(3)PO_(3)` (a dibasic acid), (i.e.,
Both displaceable hydrogens are replaced by NA. No acidic hydrogenis left. Hence, `Na_(2)HPO_(3)` is a normal salt. NaHS is obtained byreplacement of ONE acidic hydrogen of `H_(2)S` by Na (on reaction with NaOH).
Hence, NaHS is an acidic salt.
