In chemistry, neutralization is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base react quantitatively with each other. In a reaction in water, neutralization results in there being no excess of hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution.

New substances called SALTS and water are formed in neutralization reactions.
For example, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solution react together to form water and sodium chloride solution. The H+ ions and OH– ions produce the water, and the Na+ ions and Cl– ions produce the sodium chloride, NaCl(aq).

Which compound would produce an acidic aqueous solution? Which compound would produce an acidic aqueous solution? RbH C2H2 PH3 C

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: Option (e) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A compound that will dissociate in water or an aqueous solution to give hydrogen ions( $H^{+}$ ) is known as an acidic substance.

When RbH is dissolved in aqueous solution then it dissociates as follows.

$RbH \rightarrow Rb^{+} + H^{-}$ .

$C_{2}H_{2}$ is non-polar in nature. So, it will not dissociate into ions when dissolved in an aqueous solution.

$PH_{3}$ will also remain neutral and does not dissociate into ions.

$CaH_{2}$ when dissolved in water then it dissociates as follows.

$CaH_{2} \rightarrow Ca^{2+} + 2H^{-}$

Whereas when HF is dissolved in aqueous solution then the reaction will be as follows.

$HF \rightarrow H^{+} + F^{-}$

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options HF is the compound which will produce an acidic aqueous solution.
