9 Which of the following salts is acidic k Sodium oxalate Na

9. Which of the following salts is acidic? k) Sodium oxalate (Na2C204) 1) Potassium chloride (KCI) m) Iron (IT) chloride (FeCh) n) Lithium carbonate (Li2CO) o) None of the above salts are acidic

Solution

Answer is option (m)

Na2C2O4 sodium oxalate => basic salt

Since it\'s formed from a strong base ( NaOH) and a weak acid ( H2C2O4).

KCl => neutral

Since it\'s formed from strong base ( KOH) and a strong acid (HCl).

FeCl2 => acidic

Since, it\'s formed from a weak base ( Fe(OH)2 ) and a strong acid ( HCl )

Li2CO3 => basic

Since it\'s formed from a strong base LiOH, and a weak acid H2CO3 .
