  Name the following (a) Two non-hydrated crystalline salts (b) Two neutral salts (c) Two basic salts            (d) Two acid salts

Answer:

                  NaCl is a salt of strong acid (HCl) and strong base (NaOH). Therefore, its solution is neutral with pH = 7.                                                       (1) is a salt of strong acid and weak base .Therefore its solution is acidic pH < 7.                                                      (1) is a salt of strong base NaOH and weak acid . Therefore, its solution is basic with pH > 7.                                              (1)
