Ephedrine sulfate will act as a weak acid in solution because yes it is the salt of a weak base (ephedrine) and a strong acid (sulfuric acid)

What is the reaction between acid and a sulfate?
Most acids will not react with sulfates as the sulfate ion (SO42-) is a very weak base. However, a strong acid will react with a sulfate ion tor form a bisulfate ion (HSO4-). Here is an example with hydrochloric acid and sodium sulfate. HCl + Na2SO4 --> NaCl + NaHSO4 The products are sodium chloride and sodium bisulfate.
What is morphine sulfur?
You probably meant Morphine sulfate, I hope. Morphine base is not very water soluble. By combining morphine base with a dilute strong acid, you are creating a salt, such as Morphine Hydrochloride (from hydrochloric acid), or Morphine sulfate (from sulfuric acid) and many more. It is a fairly water soluble chemical that is used in hospitals, either for injection, oral pills or even a suppository,
What is the insoluble base that can be mixed with sulfuric acid to make zinc sulfate?
Zinc
Is sodium lauryl sulfate an acid or base or neutral?
It is a salt, which is weakly basic.
Standardising HCl using Na2CO3 titration. textbook says the solution at the equivalence point is slightly acidic. is it and why?
it depends on the strength of the acid and base used: so, strong acid + strong base = neutral equivalence point strong acid + weak base = acidic equivalence point weak acid + strong base = basic equivalence point In this case, HCl is a strong acid, and Na2CO3 a weak base. Therefore, the equivalence point will be slightly acidic.
What strong acid and strong base produce sodium sulfate?
Sodium hydroxide (strong base) and Sulphuric acid (strong acid)
IS HIO a strong acid?
HSO4(-), hydrogen sulfate, is the conjugate base of H2SO4, sulfuric acid.
Is ephedrine an acid or base?
Ephedrine is not an acid or a base. This is a stimulant used to aid with concentration, decongestant, appetite suppressant, and hypotension associated with anesthesia.
How do you separate salt from epsom salt?
Epsom salt, in fact, does not contain any table salt. A "salt", technically, is a strong base bonded with a strong acid. Epsom salt is Magnesium Sulfate, or MgSO4. Magnesium is a base and Sulfate is an acid.
Is barium sulfate an acid or a base?
Barium Sulfate (BaSO4) is neither an acid nor a base it is a salt
Is potassium sulfate a base or acid?
Potassium sulfate is neither an acid nor a base, but a salt formed by reaction between an acid and a base.
Is sodium sulfate a base or an acid?
base
Is sodium sulfate a base or acid?
base
Is sulfate a base or an acid?
Neither. Sulfate, SO4, is a polyatomic ion. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4), however, is an acid.
What base neautralizes sulfuric acid?
Any strong base. Example, 2NaOH + H2SO4 -> Na2SO4 + 2H2O Sodium hydroxide plus sulfuric acid yields sodium sulfate, a salt, and water.
What are the neutral salts?
Salts of strong acids and strong bases such as sodium chloride and calcium nitrate. One exception would be salts of sulfuric acid because the first conjugate base, the sulfate ion (HSO4-) is still a weak acid, and the second conjugate base, the sulfate ion (SO42-) is very mildly basic.
What is the reaction between acid and a sulfate?
Most acids will not react with sulfates as the sulfate ion (SO42-) is a very weak base. However, a strong acid will react with a sulfate ion tor form a bisulfate ion (HSO4-). Here is an example with hydrochloric acid and sodium sulfate. HCl + Na2SO4 --> NaCl + NaHSO4 The products are sodium chloride and sodium bisulfate.
