it is acid
It is not a acid or base. It is a neutral compound.
NEUTRAL
neutral
Salt can be neutral, acidic, or basic. Salts are formed through the reaction of an acid and a base. If the reaction involves a strong acid and a strong base, the resulting salt is neutral (like NaCl table salt). A weak acid and a strong base result in a basic salt, and a strong acid and a weak base form an acid salt.
neutral. there is no H or OH atoms
An acid or base is never a single element, it is a solution, and a solution that contains H+ OR OH- in it, so oxygen is neither an acid nor base.
Potassium nitrate salt is neither a base nor an acid. the nitrate ion is a conjugate base of a strong acid (nitric acid). It will not hydrolyse in solution to produce OH- ions.
No, they are not. An acid is acidic in nature which means it has more H+ ions than OH- ions. But a base is basic in nature which means that it contains more no. of OH- ions than H+ ions.
it is neutral
neutral
A base.
It is an acid
The pure water is neither base nor acid. This is because in pure water, ther is a small dissociation of water molecules giving the same amount of H+ and OH- ions. Therefore, ther is no excess of acid nor base ions. Reaction: H20 -> H+ + OH- The concentration of [H+]=[OH-]=10^-7 mol/dm3 You can read more here: http://ibchem.com/IB/ibnotes/full/aab_htm/18.3.htm
