5 Questions
What is the defining characteristic of acid salts?
They produce an acidic solution after being dissolved in a solvent.
What is the result of the formation of acid salts as a substance in terms of electrical conductivity?
It has a greater electrical conductivity than that of the pure solvent.
What is the process that leads to the formation of an acidic solution by acid salt?
Partial neutralization of diprotic or polyprotic acids, resulting in a half-neutralization and the remaining of replaceable hydrogen atoms.
What determines the acid-base property of the resulting solution from a neutralization reaction involving acid salts?
The remaining salt products and their reaction with water molecules through hydrolysis.
Provide an example of an acid salt and its formation upon half neutralization of a specific acid in a solution.
Ammonium chloride is formed upon the half neutralization of ammonia in hydrochloric acid solution: NH3(aq) + HCl(aq) ⟶ NH4Cl(aq).
