Question 44 • Chemistry

Which value is most likely to be the pH of a salt solution that is formed by the reaction of a strong acid and a weak base?

Answer
A
10 point 0
B
7 point 0
C
8 point 0
D
2 point 0

Explanation

A salt formed from a strong acid and a weak base produces an acidic solution because its ions make the water’s hydrogen ion concentration greater than its hydroxide ion concentration. An acidic solution has a pH below 7, so 2.0 is the most likely value. pH 7.0 is neutral, while 8.0 and 10.0 are basic.
