What else can I help you with?
Is carbon dioxide is a basic oxide?
No, it is weakly acidic, forming carbonate and bicarbonate salts.
Is silicon acidic or basic?
Silicon is not acidic or basic in the same way that common acids and bases like hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide are. It is a metalloid element that does not exhibit typical acidic or basic properties.
Is bromine basic or acidic?
Bromine is neither basic nor acidic as it is a nonmetallic element. It is in the halogen group of the periodic table and does not exhibit properties of either bases or acids.
Is nitrate acidic or basic?
It is basic, as it accepts a proton (Bronsted-Lowry base). It is the conjugate base of nitric acid.
How will you justify salts are neutral compound?
Salts are neutral compounds because they are formed from the reaction between an acid and a base, which neutralizes the acidic and basic properties. Salt molecules have equal numbers of positive and negative ions, resulting in a net charge of zero, making them electrically neutral.
Are salts acids?
No; salts can be acidic, basic or neutral.
Are salts all acids?
No; salts can be acidic, basic or neutral.
How do salts form and why they are neutral?
1. Salts are the products of reactions between acids and bases. 2. Salts in solution can be acidic, basic or neutral.
What are the ways of classifying salts?
Examples: organic or inorganic salts, basic or acidic salts, natural or artificial salts etc.
What do salts normally have a PH of?
Water solutions of salts can be neutral, acidic or basic.
Why can the pH of dissolved salts vary?
Because salts can be in water solutions neutral, acidic or basic.
I need a simple definition of acidic salts and basic salts?
A water solution of a basic salt has a pH greater than 7; a water solution of an acidic salt has a pH lower than 7.
Is oxide acidic radical?
No, oxide is not an acidic radical. Oxide is a basic radical because it reacts with acids to form salts and water.
Why are some salts still acidic or basic?
Salts can be acidic or basic depending on the cation and anion they are composed of. If the cation comes from a weak base or the anion comes from a weak acid, the salt can be acidic or basic. For example, ammonium chloride is acidic because the ammonium ion comes from a weak base (ammonia) while the chloride ion comes from a strong acid (hydrochloric acid).
Is carbon dioxide is a basic oxide?
No, it is weakly acidic, forming carbonate and bicarbonate salts.
Do acidic salts turn blue litmus to red?
Salts are not acidic.
What are the characteristics of salts and neutralizations?
Salts are the products of a reaction between an acid and a base: - salts may be soluble or insoluble in water - water solutions of salts may be acidic, basic or neutral - salts may be ionic compounds
