Question

Match the following reactions with the type of salts they would produce.

• A. Basic
• B. Neutral
• C. Acidic

Answer 1

• Strong acid + Weak base → Acidic salt + Water

$HCl\left(aq\right)+N{H}_{4}OH\left(aq\right)\to N{H}_{4}Cl\left(aq\right)+H_{2}O\left(l\right)$

• Strong acid + Strong base → Neutral salt + Water

$HCl\left(aq\right)+NaOH\left(aq\right)\to NaCl\left(aq\right)+H_{2}O\left(l\right)$

• Weak acid + Strong base → Basic salt + Water

$C{H}_{3}COOH\left(aq\right)+NaOH\left(aq\right)\to C{H}_{3}COONa\left(aq\right)+H_{2}O\left(l\right)$
