Question

Which of the following salts is the most basic in aqueous solution ? (A) Al(CN)3  (B) CH3COOK  (C) FeCl3 (D) Pb(CH3COO)2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

CH 3 COOK + H 2 O longrightarrow CH 3 COOH + KOH- Basic FeCl 3- Acidic solution Al ( CN )3- Salt of weak acid and weak base Pb ( CH 3 COO )2- Salt of weak acid and weak base CH 3 COOK is salt of weak acid and strong base. Hence solution of CH 3 COOK is basic.

Q. Which of the following salts is the most basic in aqueous solution ?

Al(CN)3​

CH3​COOK

FeCl3​

Pb(CH3​COO)2​

CH3​COOK+H2​O⟶CH3​COOH+KOH- Basic FeCl3​− Acidic solution Al(CN)3​− Salt of weak acid and weak base Pb(CH3​COO)2​− Salt of weak acid and weak base CH3​COOK is salt of weak acid and strong base. Hence solution of CH3​COOK is basic.

$A l (CN)_{3}$

$C H_{3} COO K$

$F e C l_{3}$

$P b (C H_{3} COO)_{2}$
