    Which one of the following salts gives an acidic solution in water?

    A)  \[C{{H}_{3}}COONa\]     

    B)  \[N{{H}_{4}}Cl\]

    C)  \[NaCl\]          

    D)  \[C{{H}_{3}}COON{{H}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Salt formed between strong acid and weak base, solution of such type of salt is acidic in nature. \[N{{H}_{4}}Cl\] is an example of such type of salt. \[NH_{4}^{+}+C{{l}^{-}}+{{H}_{2}}O\rightleftharpoons N{{H}_{4}}OH+{{H}^{+}}+C{{l}^{-}}\] Since, \[C{{l}^{-}}\] common on both sides. \[NH_{4}^{+}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}N{{H}_{4}}OH+{{H}^{+}}\]
