Question

The salt which does not react with acid or base is :

• A. sodium hydroxide
• B. sulphuric acid
• C. sodium chloride
• D. sodium acetate

Answer 1

The correct option is C sodium chloride

The salt which does not react with acid or base is Sodium chloride.
Salts having common acidic or basic radicals are said to belong to the same family. Sodium chloride ($NaCl$) and Calcium chloride ($CaC{l}_2$) belong to chloride family.

Salts produced because of reaction between a strong acid and strong base is neutral in nature. The pH of a value of such salts is equal to 7, i.e. neutral.

Example; Sodium chloride, sodium sulfate, potassium chloride, etc.

Sodium chloride ($NaCl$) is formed after the reaction between a hydrochloric acid (a strong acid) and sodium hydroxide (a strong base).
