Given below are two statements : Statement (I) : Aqueous solution...
Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : Aqueous solution of ammonium carbonate is basic.
Statement (II) : Acidic/basic nature of salt solution of a salt of weak acid and weak base depends on and value of acid and the base forming it.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Statement (I) : Aqueous solution of ammonium carbonate is basic.
Statement (II) : Acidic/basic nature of salt solution of a salt of weak acid and weak base depends on and value of acid and the base forming it.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
Options
- ABoth Statement I and Statement II are correct
- BStatement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- CBoth Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- DStatement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
Correct answer
A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
Step-by-step solution
Aqueous solution of is Basic.
of salt of weak acid and weak base depends on and value of acid and the base forming it.
Solution is basic if
(weak base) >(weak acid).
()=
(Ammonium hydroxide) >(Hydrogen carbonate)
∴ Hence, solution of Ammonium carbonate is basic in nature.
Hence Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
