  1. NaCl
  2. KNO3
  3. NH4Cl
  4. Na2CO3

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following salts will produce a basic solution when dissolved in water?
  • Step 1: Understand what a salt is. A salt is formed when an acid reacts with a base.
  • Step 2: Identify the components of the salt in the question. Na2CO3 is made from sodium (Na) and carbonate (CO3).
  • Step 3: Determine the strength of the acid and base that form the salt. Na2CO3 comes from a strong base (NaOH) and a weak acid (H2CO3).
  • Step 4: Recall that salts from strong bases and weak acids produce basic solutions when dissolved in water.
  • Step 5: Conclude that since Na2CO3 is from a strong base and a weak acid, it will produce a basic solution in water.
