Identify the Acidic salt? NaCl,NaNO3,NH4Cl

A

Piezoelectric crystals are used as pick-ups in record players, they are also used in microphones, ultrasonic generators, and sonar detectors.

B

`BaTiO_(3)`, Rochelle salt, `KH_(2)PO_(4)`, and quartz are ferroelectric and piezoelectric solids.

C

The temperature above which no ferromagnetism is observed is called curie termperature.

D

The temperature at which the material shows super-conductivity is called transition termperature.

The correct Answer is:
To identify the acidic salt among the given options (NaCl, NaNO3, NH4Cl), we can analyze each salt based on the strength of the acid and base from which they are derived. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the components of each salt:** - **NaCl**: This salt is formed from sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a strong base, and hydrochloric acid (HCl), a strong acid. - **NaNO3**: This salt is formed from sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a strong base, and nitric acid (HNO3), also a strong acid. - **NH4Cl**: This salt is formed from ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH), a weak base, and hydrochloric acid (HCl), a strong acid. 2. **Determine the nature of each salt:** - **NaCl**: Since both the acid and base are strong, NaCl is a neutral salt. It does not affect the pH of the solution. - **NaNO3**: Similar to NaCl, both components are strong (strong acid and strong base), making NaNO3 also a neutral salt. - **NH4Cl**: Here, the base (NH4OH) is weak and the acid (HCl) is strong. This results in an excess of H+ ions in solution, making NH4Cl an acidic salt. 3. **Conclusion:** - Among the given salts, NH4Cl is the only acidic salt because it is derived from a weak base and a strong acid. ### Final Answer: The acidic salt among the given options is **NH4Cl**. ---
