Which of the following salts is the most basic in aqueous solution?

Options

APb{ $\left({CH}_{3}COO\right)}_{2}$
BAl{ $\left(CN\right)}_{3}$
C ${\text{CH}}_{3}COOK$
D ${FeCl}_{3}$

Correct answer

C. ${\text{CH}}_{3}COOK$

Step-by-step solution

Salt of $Pb{( OH )}_{2} + {CH}_{3}COOH$
Weak base Weak acid

Salt of $Al{( OH )}_{3} + HCN$
Weak base Weak acid

Salt of $Fe{( OH )}_{3} + HCl$
Weak base Strong acid

Which of the following salts is the most basic in aqueous solution?

Hence, the nature of the solution is basic.
