    A white substance having alkaline nature in solution is

    A)  \[NaN{{O}_{3}}\]                           

    B)  \[N{{H}_{4}}Cl\]

    C)  \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\]                             

    D)  \[FeC{{l}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Key Idea The salt of weak acid and strong base on hydrolysis gives alkaline solution. \[NaN{{O}_{3}}\]On hydrolysis gives neutral solution, as solution contains both strong acid and strong base.                 \[NaN{{O}_{3}}+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  strong \\  base \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{NaOH}}\,\,\,\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  strong \\  acid \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{HN{{O}_{3}}}}\,\] \[N{{H}_{4}}Cl\] On hydrolysis gives acidic solution as the solution contains strong acid and weak base.                 \[N{{H}_{4}}Cl+{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  weak \\  base \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{N{{H}_{4}}OH}}\,\,\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  strong \\  acid \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{HCl}}\,\] \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}\] On hydrolysis gives alkaline solution as the solution contains strong base and weak acid.                         \[N{{a}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  strong \\  base \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{2NaOH}}\,\,\,\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  weak \\  acid \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{H}_{2}}C{{O}_{3}}}}\,\] \[FeC{{l}_{3}}\] On hydrolysis gives acidic solution as the solution contain strong acid and weak base.                              \[FeC{{l}_{3}}+3{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  weak \\  base \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{Fe{{(OH)}_{3}}}}\,\,\,\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  strong \\  acid \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{3HCl}}\,\]
