Which of the following aqueous salt solutions would you expect to be neutral, e. pH=7. A) NaCN(ag) B) NH4Br(aq) C) NaCN(aq) D) KBr(aq) E) Ca(NO2)2(aq)

Respuesta :

Answer:

D) KBr(aq)

Explanation:

The salt has pH = 7 or is neutral when it is made up of a strong acid and a strong base.

A) NaCN is made up of NaOH and HCN.

NaOH is a strong base but HCN is a weak acid. It will have pH greater than 7.

B) NH₄Br is made up of NH₄OH and HBr.

NH₄OH is a weak base and HBr is a strong acid. It will have pH less than 7.

C) NaCN is made up of NaOH and HCN.

NaOH is a strong base but HCN is a weak acid. It will have pH greater than 7.

D) KBr is made up of KOH and HBr.

KOH is a strong base and also HBr is a strong acid. It will have pH equal to  7.

E) Ca(NO₂)₂ is made up of Ca(OH)₂ and HNO₂.

Ca(OH)₂ is a strong base but HNO₂ is a weak acid. It will have pH greater than 7.
