Name a normal (neutral) salt, acidic salt and basic salt of element sodium. Explain.

Solution

Neutral or normal salt of sodium: Sodium chloride (NaCl). It does not hydrolyse in water and so solution of NaCl contains no extra H+ or OH ions.

Acidic salt of sodium: Sodium hydrogen sulphate (NaHSO4). It hydrolyses in water to give
strong acid, H2SO4.

Basic salt of sodium: Sodium acetate (NaOOCCH3). It hydrolyses in water to give strong base, NaOH.
