Interpretation : The type of salt produces an acidic solution and basic solution to be reviewed.
Concept Introduction : One of the products of a neutralization reaction is salt. Salt constitutes a cation from a base and an anion from an acid. They are neutral in solution form.
Answer to Problem 46LC
Acidic solutions are formed by the reaction of a weak base with strong acid.
The basic solution is formed by the reaction of a strong base with weak acid.
Explanation of Solution
Acidic solutions are produced by salts that have positive ions which give hydrogen ions to water.
A strong acid and a weak base give rise to acidic solutions.
For example, Ammonium chloride is a salt formed between a strong acid hydrochloric acid, and a weak base ammonia. Since it is acidic, it is ionized completely in water.
Basic solutions are produced by salts that have negative ions which draw hydrogen ions from water.
A weak acid and a strong base give rise to basic solutions.
For example, Sodium ethanoate is a salt formed between a weak acid methanoic acid, and a strong base sodium hydroxide. Since it is basic, it is ionized completely in water.
