Which of the following salts will give highest pH in water?
Options
- ACuS O 4
- BKCl
- CN a 2 C O 3
- DNaCl
Correct answer
C. N a 2 C O 3
Step-by-step solution
N a 2 C O 3 will give highest pH in water because it is a salt of strong base and weak acid so aqueous solution is alkaline with pH more than 7. KCl, & NaCl are salts of strong acid & strong base so aqueous solution is neutral & pH is 7. CuS O 4 is a salt of strong acid &weak base so aqueous solution is acidic with pH less than 7.
