Question

Give the name and formula of the acid salt which gives sodium ions and sulphate ions in solution.

Answer 1

Sodium bisulphate is an acid salt (with formula NaHSO₄) that gives sodium ions and sulphate ions in solution.

$$\begin{gathered} {\mathrm{NaHSO}}_4+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\leftrightarrow {\mathrm{H}}_3{\mathrm{O}}^{+}+{\mathrm{Na}}^{+}+{\mathrm{SO}}_4^{2-} \\ \mathrm{Sodium}\mathrm{bisulphate} \end{gathered}$$
