Question

Give a suitable chemical term for -

a salt formed by the incomplete neutralization of an acid molecule by a base radical.

Answer 1

Acid Salt:-

1. Acid salts are the salts that are formed by the incomplete neutralization of an acid molecule by a base radical.
2. They are formed by the neutralization reaction between a strong acid and a weak base
3. $$\begin{gathered} 2{\mathrm{NH}}_3\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+{\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)\to {\left({\mathrm{NH}}_4\right)}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\left(\mathrm{aq}\right) \\ (\mathrm{weak}\mathrm{base})(\mathrm{strong}\mathrm{acid})(\mathrm{acid}\mathrm{salt}) \\ \left(\mathrm{Ammonia}\right)(\mathrm{Sulphuric}\mathrm{acid})(\mathrm{Ammonium}\mathrm{sulphate}) \end{gathered}$$

Final answer:- A salt formed by the incomplete neutralization of an acid molecule by a base radical is called an acid salt.
