1) State whether aqueous solutions of the following salts are acidic, basic, or neutral.
a) NH4N03
I think this is acidic due to the hydrolysis of the NH4 ion, which produces H+ ions?
b) KH2PO4
not sure about this one, since it is a diprotic acid and ionizes in more than one step
any hints?
c) NaBr
this is a strong electrolyte, so it disassociates completely in water; hence, common ion effect is not observed
Are these correct? Can someone please give me a hint on part b?
