Homework Statement
OK so this is my first time actually posting but I have lurked around. I need help with two of my chemistry problems.
Problem 1
Decide which one(s) of these answer choices are correct.
A buffered solution is one which can be desribed by which of the following:
I. a solution which resists pH
II. may contain a weak acid and its salt
III. contains species which can react with both H+ and OH-
Problem 2
Which of the following salts will form a basic solution in water?
a. KCl
b. Na2SO4
c. CuCl2
d. Na2CO3
e. NH4NO3
Homework Equations
No equations for question 1.
Question 2 wouldn't the products have to have the OH ion or will water autoionize?
The Attempt at a Solution
For problem 1 I already know that answer choices "I and II" are correct. My question is about the third. I don't understand what the statement is saying and whether it is true or not.
For question 2 I thought that what reacts with water will have to have an OH- to become a basic salt.
Thanks to those who can help
