Solution

The correct option is B

Carbonic acid


Explanation for correct option:

(B)Carbonic acid

  • The nature of salt formed during the neutralization process is determined by the strength of the participating acids and bases.
  • Strong acids lead to the formation of acidic salts whereas weak acids cannot participate in the formation of acidic salts.
  • As Carbonic acid (H2CO3) is a weak acid, it does not form acidic salt.

Hence, option (B) is the correct option.

Explanation for correct option:

(A)Phosphoric acid

  • Phosphoric acid(H3PO4) is a strong acid.
  • It forms acidic salts while participating in the neutralization reactions.

(C)Hydrochloric acid

  • Hydrochloric acid(HCl) is a strong acid.
  • It forms acidic salts while participating in the neutralization reactions.

(D)Sulphuric acid ​

  • Sulphuric acid(H2SO4) is a strong acid.
  • It forms acidic salts while participating in the neutralization reactions.

Hence, option (B) is the correct option.
