If an acid or base is weaker than water, how do we describe its acid/base character?
Little/no acid/base character
If a salt is made from the anion of a strong acid and the cation of a strong base, will its solution be acidic, basic, or neutral?
Neutral
If a salt is made from the cation of a weak base and the anion of a strong acid, will its solution be acidic, basic, or neutral?
Acidic
If a salt is made from a small, charged metal cation and the anion of a strong acid, will its solution be acidic, basic, or neutral?
Acidic
If a salt is made from the cation of a strong base and the anion of a weak acid, will its solution be acidic, basic, or neutral?
Basic
Is NaCl solution acidic, basic, or neutral?
Neutral
Na+ and Cl- are the ions of strong acids/bases
Is NH4Cl solution acidic, basic, or neutral?
Acidic
NH4+ = acid, cation of weak base NH3
Cl- = anion of strong acid HCl, spectator
Is KNO2 solution acidic, basic, or neutral?
Basic
K+ = cation of strong base KOH, spectator
NO2- = base, anion of weak acid HNO2
Is CrBr3 solution acidic, basic, or neutral?
Acidic
