Salts of weak bases react with strong acids to give a/an
Correct answer: B. Acidic solution
- A. Basic solution
- B. Acidic solution
- C. Neutral solution
- D. None
Explanation
A salt derived from strong acid and weak base will dissolve in water to give a solution which is acidic due to anionic hydrolysis (or) A salt derived from strong acid and weak base will give acidic solution because in such solution [H3O+][H3O+] concentration will be more than [OH−]

About Acids, Bases and Salts
Acid and base behaviour is explained through the Bronsted-Lowry transfer of protons and the Lewis donation or acceptance of electron pairs. The topic includes pH, pOH, ionisation and water equilibrium, plus salt formation and hydrolysis, where a salt solution may become acidic, basic or neutral.
