Aqueous solutions

of the soluble beryllium salts are acidic as a result of the

formation of Be(OH2)42+, the tetrahydrate, which will

react to form insoluble hydroxides or hydrated

complexes at pH values between 5 and 8

When a beryllium salts is dissolved in water what species are present in such a solution?

probably hydrated beryllium salts like BeCl2.H20


Is acids a property of salts?

Some salts dissolved in water have an acidic pH.


Why can the pH of dissolved salts vary?

Because salts can be in water solutions neutral, acidic or basic.


Except for beryllium the elments in the first two groups of the periodic table produce acidic solutions when dissolved in water?

Excepting beryllium, the others mentioned elements produce basic solutions when are dissolved in water.


Why is Beryllium dichloride acid when dissolved in water?

When dissolved in water, beryllium chloride dissolves in water it breaks apart into beryllium and chloride ions. The positive beryllium ion attracts and forms a sort of bond with the slightly positive oxygen atom of a water molecule, forming what is called an ionic complex. A hydrogen ion can then break off of this positively charged complex, resulting in a slightly acidic solution.


Which salt forms a solution with a PH less than 7 when dissolved in water?

A salt that forms a solution with a pH less than 7 when dissolved in water is an acidic salt. This happens when the cation in the salt is weakly acidic or neutral, and the anion is a weak base, resulting in the solution being slightly acidic.


Are salts can be dissolved in the water?

Salts may be soluble or insoluble in water.


What happens to salts dissolved in water when the water evaporates?

When water evaporates, salts dissolved in the water are left behind and form solid crystals.


Why do bath salts dissolve in water?

Polar salts are easily dissolved in water.


Is carbon dioxide is a basic oxide?

No, it is weakly acidic, forming carbonate and bicarbonate salts.


What is the difference between acidic oxide and basic oxide?

Acidic oxides react with water to form acids, while basic oxides react with water to form bases. Acidic oxides have a higher concentration of oxygen ions, leading to a more acidic solution when dissolved in water. Basic oxides have a higher concentration of metal ions, resulting in a more basic solution when dissolved in water.


Acids Bases Salts?

Acids are compounds that release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water, bases are substances that release hydroxide ions in water, and salts are compounds formed by the reaction between an acid and a base. Acids have a pH less than 7, bases have a pH greater than 7, and salts are formed through a neutralization reaction.
