Properties of Salts

Chemistry ⇒ Acids, Bases, and Salts

Properties of Salts starts at 7 and continues till grade 12. QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Properties of Salts. How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take. When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 12
A solution of sodium carbonate is found to be basic. Explain why.
A student dissolves ammonium chloride in water and measures the pH. The pH is found to be less than 7. Explain why.
Calculate the mass of sodium chloride required to prepare 500 mL of a 0.2 M NaCl solution. (Molar mass of NaCl = 58.5 g/mol)
Describe the crystalline structure of most salts.
Describe the difference between a normal salt and an acidic salt.
Describe the process of hydrolysis of salts with an example.
Explain the term 'water of crystallization' with an example.
Explain why aqueous solutions of salts can be acidic, basic, or neutral.
Explain why solid salts do not conduct electricity, but their aqueous solutions do.
Explain why some salts are efflorescent.
Explain why some salts are used as drying agents.
Explain why the melting point of ionic salts is generally high.
