Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Amongst the given substances, the substance which is most likely to have bitter taste is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Acids are those substances which release H+ ions in the solution and bases are those which release OH ions. Acids taste sour while bases are bitter in taste.

Answer to Problem 1SAQ

Correct answer: NaOH is most likely to have a bitter taste.

Thus, option (c) is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reasons for the correct option: NaOH(aq) is a base and releases OH ions in the solution. The chemical equation can be written as:

NaOH(aq)Na+(aq)+OH-(aq)

Bases contain alkaloids which are sometimes poisonous in nature and have bitter taste. So, our disinclination towards bitter taste is to avoid these poisonous substances. As NaOH(aq) is a base, so it has a bitter taste.

Hence, option (c) is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect option: Option (a) is incorrect because HCl(aq) is a strong acid not a base, so it cannot have a bitter taste.

Option (b) is incorrect because NaCl(aq) is a salt and is prepared by neutralization reaction between an acid and a base.

Option (d) is incorrect because option (c) is correct as NaOH(aq) is a base and has a bitter taste.

Hence, option (a), (b) and (d) are incorrect.
