Chapter 16.10, Problem 16.10.5SR

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three ${\text{X}}^{\text{-}}$ anions from three salts $\text{NaX (X=A, B, or C)}$ has to be arranged in order of its increasing base strength.

Concept Information:

• Salt hydrolysis is a reaction in which the ion of salt reacts with water and produce either hydronium ion or hydroxide ion.
• Based on ions produced in solution through salt hydrolysis, the salt can be classified as,
  • Acidic
  • Basic
  • Neutral

To Arrange: The three ${\text{X}}^{\text{-}}$ anions from three salts $\text{NaX (X=A, B, or C)}$ in the order of increasing basicity
