Is NaI acidic neutral or basic?

sodium oxide, Na2O, is basic. This is because it is a metal oxide. Metal oxides tend to be basic while non metal oxides tend to be acidic.


Why do plants tend to grow better in a solution that is slightly acidic to a neutral?

Why is that acetic acid does not form an acid salt but forms a normal salt?

Actually, it will probably tend to form basic salts. Ethanoic acid is a weak acid, so when it reacts with a strong base, it will form a basic salt.

What pH is stronger acid or basic?

-acidic or acid is stronger than basic-acid is # below 7 and basic is # over 7-7 tends to be neutral- the higher the # the more time it takes to dissolve one thing the less # the faster it takes to dissolveAcidic vs. basic is a measure of whether the parts of water exist in a solution, without having come together to form an entire water molecule. Acidic solutions represent solutions with a preponderance of one type of part (hydrogen ions), and basic solutions represent solutions with a preponderance of the other type of part (hydroxide ions). One can't make a general statement about whether acids or bases are stronger, but more strongly acidic or basic individual solutions tend to have pH farther from neutral (7). They either have a very low pH(acidic) or a very high pH (basic). How strongly acidic or basic they are depends on how far they are from neutral, with neutral being an equal proportion of hydrogen and hydroxide ions.


An Amine functions as an organic What?

Amines function as organic bases. Like in ammonia, the nitrogen atoms in amines tend to act as electron pair donors. Thus, they act as bases in many reactions.


What term can be used to describe a salt which can dissolve in water?

A salt is generally an ionic compound which will dissociate when put into water creating cations and anions. Salts can be neutral or tend toward acidic or basic states, depending on the particular salt. Recall that a salt is generally the product (along with water) of an acid-base reaction.

Is saltwater a base?

Water is neutral, usually around 7.0. The oceans tend to have a pH around 8.0-8.2 on the reefs, so they are slightly basic. The pH can fluctuate depending on the depth, time of day, etc.


Sulphates are made from what acid?

Substances which are reacted with Sulphuric acid tend to produce sulphates.


Which of the following is true about bases they tend to decrease PH solution or they release hydroxide ions in solutions?

Technically, neither is entirely true. Bases will not decrease the pH, but neither do they always release hydroxide. For example, ammonia and the amines are basic, but this is because they remove hydronium, not because they add hydroxide. They release hydroxide ions in solution.


Do ornamental grasses like acid soils?

Yes, ornamental grasses can like acid soils depending upon their origins and if they are acid-tolerant. Many ornamental grasses tend to be described as tolerant of various soils as long as the ground is well-drained. They will function most effectively between soil pH (power of hydrogen) levels of acidic 5 through neutral/alkaline 7.
