Answer:

NaCN- basic salt

KNO3 - neutral salt

NH4Cl - acid salt

NaHCO3 - acid salt

Na3PO4 - acid salt

Explanation:

Salt hydrolysis a process by which salts react with water giving an acid and a base.

When we dissolve NaCN in water, we have;

NaCN + - ⇄ Na^+ + CN^-

KNO3 ------> K^+ + NO3^-

NH4Cl ------> NH4^+ + Cl^-

NaHCO3 -----> Na^+ + HCO3^-

Na3PO4 ----> 3Na^+ + PO4^3-

Note that if a salt is formed from a weak acid and a strong base, the salt will be a basic salt e.g NaCN formed from weak HCN and strong NaOH.

If a salt is formed from a strong acid and weak base, the salt will be acidic, e.gNH4Cl formed from weak NH3 and strong HCl.

If a salt is formed from a strong acid and strong base, the salt will be neutral, e.g KNO3 formed from strong KOH and strong HNO3.

What is the equilibrium constant of pure water at 25C?
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

In pure water, at 25C, the [H3O+] and [OH-] ion concentrations are 1.0 x 10-7 M. The value of Kw at 25C is therefore 1.0 x 10-14. Although Kw is defined in terms of the dissociation of water, this equilibrium constant expression is equally valid for solutions of acids and bases dissolved in water.

B the atomic number of nitrogen is 7. what is the mass number of a nitrogen atom with 6 neutrons? express your answer as an inte
devlian [24]

Mass number is equal to the sum of number of neutrons (neutral subatomic particle) and number of protons (positively charge particle).

Mass number  =number of protons + number of neutrons

Now, atomic number is same as the number of protons i.e. atomic of nitrogen is 7 . Thus, number of protons is also equal to 7.

Therefore,

Mass number  =7 + 6

= 13

Hence, mass number of nitrogen is equal to 13.

How and why do ionic bonds form? Check all of the boxes that apply. Ionic bonds form between metal atoms and other metal atoms.
sammy [17]

2 Ionic bonds form between metal atoms and nonmetal atoms.

4 The less electronegative atoms transfers one or more electrons to the more electronegative atom.

5 The metal atom forms a cation and the nonmetal atom forms an anion.

7 The attraction between ions with an opposite charge forms an ionic bond.

Name the following base: NaOH
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

Arrhenius Base

Explanation:

"NaOH is an Arrhenius base because it dissociates in water to give the hydroxide (OH-) and sodium (Na+) ions. An Arrhenius acid is therefore any substance that ionizes when it dissolves in water to give the H+, or hydrogen, ion. ... Acids provide the H+ ion; bases provide the OH- ion; and these ions combine to form water."
