Question

Determine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, simply write only NR.
Ba(CHO2)2

Answer 1

Answer:

Ba(CHO2)2 is barium formate.  This salt is formed from the reaction of a STRONG BASE, Ba(OH)2 and a WEAK ACID, formic acid, HCOOH.

Explanation:

Answer 2

A solution of Ba(CHO2)2 is basic in nature since it is formed from a strong base and a weak acid.

A salt may be acidic, basic or neutral when dissolved in water. The nature of the resultant solution depends on the nature of acid/base from which the salt was formed.

Ba(CHO2)2 was formed from a weak acid and a strong base. As such, the resulting solution of the salt is basic in nature.

The appropriate equilibrium equation is;

Ba(CHO2)2(aq) + H2O ⇄ H(CHO2)2^-(aq)  + OH^-(aq) + Ba^2+(aq)
