Solution
AlCl3 is an acidic salt as it has the tendency to accept an electron pair and so behaves as lewis acid and in aqueous medium it releases hydrochloric acid (HCl) and aluminium oxide.
While, ZnSOā4ā is a neutral salt however, in aquous medium it behaves slightly acidic and its pH is less than 7.
