The reaction between strong acid and weak base gives: (a) acidic salt (b) basic salt (c) neutral salt (d) normal salt

Similar questions: The reaction between strong acid and strong base (2083 · Science Model Set A)

Answer

(a) acidic salt

The salt of a strong acid and a weak base (for example NH4Cl\mathrm{NH_4Cl} from HCl and NH4OH\mathrm{NH_4OH}) hydrolyses in water to give an acidic solution with pH below 7.

The reaction between strong acid and strong base gives: (a) acidic salt (b) basic salt (c) both a and b (d) Neutral salt

Similar questions: The reaction between strong acid and weak base (2083 · Science Model Set D)

Answer

(d) Neutral salt

A strong acid and a strong base give a salt whose ions do not hydrolyse (for example NaCl), so the solution is neutral with pH 7.

Which of the following statement is correct? (a) Na is more reactive than K (b) Ca is less reactive than Mg (c) O has larger atomic size than S (d) none of the above

Answer

(d) none of the above

Na is less reactive than K (K lies below Na in group 1). Ca is more reactive than Mg (Ca lies below Mg in group 2). O is smaller than S, since atomic size increases down a group. So (a), (b) and (c) are all false.

Answer

(a) Na is more reactive than Li due to more electron

Reactivity of alkali metals increases down the group. Na has its outer electron in a higher shell, farther from the nucleus and more shielded, so it is lost more easily than in Li. The other options are wrong: fluorine is a non-metal, and option (b) is meaningless.
