Predict if the solutions of the following salts are neutral, acidic or basic:

NaCl, KBr, NaCN, NH4NO3, NaNO2 and KF


(i) NaCl is neutral as it is salt of strong acid(HCl) and strong base(NaOH)



(ii)KBr is neutral as it is salt of strong acid(HBr) and strong base(KOH)



(iii) NaCN is basic as it is a salt of strong base(NaOH) and weak acid(HCN)



(iv) NH4NO3 is acidic as it a salt of strong acid(HNO3) and weak base (NH4OH)



(v) NaNO2 is basic as it a salt of strong base(NaOH) and weak acid(HNO2)



(vi) KF is basic as it is salt of strong base(KOH) and weak acid(HF)
