KCET2015ChemistryIonic Equilibrium
The aqueous solution of following salt will have the lowest ( pH ) :
Options
- A( NaClO ₃ )
- BN aCl O
- C( NaClO ₂ )
- D( NaClO ₄ )
Correct answer
D. ( NaClO ₄ )
Step-by-step solution
The pH of the aqueous solution of the following salts depend on corresponding acid. NaClO + H ₂ O NaOH + HClO NaClO ₄+ H ₂ O NaOH + HClO ₄ NaClO ₃+ H ₂ O NaOH + HClO ₃ NaClO ₂+ H ₂ O NaOH + HClO ₂ HClO ₄ is the strongest acid, therefore, its salt solution will have the lowest pH value.
