Check Your Knowledge on the Types of Solutions

Predict if the solutions of the following salts are neutral, acidic or basic. - NaCl - KBr - NaCN - NH4NO3 - NaNO2 - KF

The solution that contains a salt of a strong base and weak acid is basic.

pH scale = 7-14

pH paper turns blue

Basic solution

The solution that contains a salt of strong acid and a weak base is acidic.

pH scale = 0-7

pH paper turns red

Acidic solution

A neutral solution is one that contains the salts of a strong acid and a strong base.

pH scale = 7

pH paper turns green
