Which of the following salts will give highest pH in water ?

A

KCl

B

NaCl

C

`Na_(2) CO_(3)`

D

`CuSO_(4)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
KCl and NaCl are salts of strong acid and strong base. Their aqueous solutions will be neutral with pH = 7. `Na_(2)CO_(3)` is a salt of strong base (NaOH) and weak acid `(H_(2)CO_(3))`. Its solution will be basic with `pH gt 7. CuSO_(4)` is a salt of weak base, `Cu(OH)_(2)` and strong acid, `H_(2)SO_(4)`. Its solution will be acidic with `pH lt 7`.
