KCl is neutral because KOH is a strong base and HCl is a strong acid

To determine if the salt is neutral, acidic or basic, determine how the salt was made, or from which acid and base it was derived. Once we have determined how the salt was made, determine if the acid and base are both strong, weak or one of each.  If both are strong (e.g. NaOH + HCl), then the salt (NaCl) is NEUTRAL.  If the base is strong and the acid is weak (KOH + HCN), then the salt (KCN) is BASIC.  IF the base is weak and the acid is strong (NH3 + HCl), then the salt (NH4Cl) is ACIDIC.  If both the base and the acid are weak (NH3 + CH3COOH), then then salt (CH3COONH4) will have a pH determined by which is stronger (the acid or the base) and this will depend on the Ka of the weak acid compared to the Kb of the weak base.

KCl is neutral because KOH is a strong base and HCl is a strong acid NaCN is generally basic because NaOH is a strong base and HCN is a very week acid. NH4NO3 is usually acid because HNO3 is a strong acid and NH4OH is a week base

CH3COONH4 is exactly neutral because both NH4OH ad CH3COOH are respectively week base and week acid. Moreover, the Ka of acetic acid is exactly equal to the Kb of NH4OH

To know about strong base.

Magnesium and iron are metallic elements. How does a mole of magnesium compare with a mole of iron?
Alexus [3.1K]
Given a mole each for iron and magnesium, the number of atoms of each element is equal. Iron has a greater mass due to its greater molecular weight. The correct statement among the choices is D.

What are two properties of most nonmetals?(1) high ionization energy and poor electrical conductivity(2) high ionization energy
elixir [45]
The two properties of most non metals are high ionization energy and poor electrical conductivity. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "1". In general it is known that nonmetals are very poor conductors of heat and electricity. The nonmetals that are solid are normally very brittle and has very little or no metallic luster at all. Nonmetals are highly reactive and show variety of chemical properties. It can also be pointed out that the nonmetals gain electrons very easily.

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

The correct appropriate will be Option 1 (Acid anhydrides are less stable than esters so the equilibrium favors the ester product.)

Explanation:

  • Acid anhydride, instead of just a carboxyl group, is typically favored for esterification. The predominant theory would be that Anhydride acid is somewhat more volatile than acid. This is favored equilibrium changes more toward the right of the whole ester structure.
  • Extremely responsive than carboxylic acid become acid anhydride as well as acyl chloride. Thus, for esterification, individuals were most favored.

The other options offered are not relevant to something like the scenario presented. So, the solution here is just the right one.
