Question

question 4 (2 points) when a salt is formed as a result of an acid/base reaction, which of the following is true? the salt will always have a ph below 7 the salt will always have a ph above 7 the salt will be neutral, around 7 the salt will have a ph of 1 or 14

Explanation:

The pH of a salt formed in an acid - base reaction depends on the nature of the acid and base that react. A salt of a strong acid and strong base is neutral (pH around 7), a salt of a strong acid and weak base is acidic (pH below 7), and a salt of a weak acid and strong base is basic (pH above 7). So, no single fixed pH range is always true for salts formed in acid - base reactions.

Answer:

None of the above options are correct.
