Which of the following 0.5 M aqueous salt solutions will have a pH of 7.0 at

LiF RbBr NaClO4 NH4Cl

A) LiF only B) NaClO4 only C) LiF and RbBr D) RbBr and NaClO4

LiF and RbBr

Explanation:

Salt is an ionic compound that is made from the reaction of an acid and a base solution. Salts dissolve in water to give solutions that are acidic, basic, or neutral.

Salt formed from a strong acid and a weak base will make an acidic solution when added to water. The reason this occurs is because when the salt dissociates, the conjugate acid of the weak base will donate a proton, or one hydrogen ion, to water and form hydronium ion.

If a salt is formed from a weak acid and a strong base, it dissolves in water and the conjugate base of the weak acid will accept a proton from water and yield the hydroxide ion. Hence the solution of the salt will be basic.

If the salt is formed from a strong acid and a strong base, the salt is neutral when dissolved in water. Both LiF and RbBr are formed from strong acids and strong bases hence they will have a pH of 7.0 in solution.

answer///carbon;

chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. these processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions. some reactions produce heat and are called exothermic reactions and others may require heat to enable the reaction to occur, which are called endothermic reactions. understanding chemical changes is a major part of the science of chemistry.
