Question

Name a hydrogen-containing compound that is not an acid but a salt.

Answer 1

Methane:

• Methane(${\mathrm{CH}}_4$) is a hydrocarbon(a compound containing hydrogen and carbon) that is not an acid but a salt.
• Methane is odourless.
• It is a flammable non-toxic gas having tetrahedral geometry in which the carbon atom is ${\mathrm{sp}}^3$ hybridized.

Therefore, a compound having hydrogen which is not an acid but salt is Methane(${\mathrm{CH}}_4$).
