Which of the following salt solutions turns red litmus blue?
Options
- ANH ₄ CN
- BNH ₄ Cl
- CNH ₄ NO ₃
- DNaNO ₃
Correct answer
A. NH ₄ CN
Step-by-step solution
The pH of a solution depends on the hydrolysis of a salt. Except NH ₄ CN , all the other salts are products of strong acids HCl or HNO ₃ . Hence, NH ₄ CN turns red litmus blue as HCN is a weak acid.
