Solution of Na2SO4 will be_________________?

Correct answer: C. neutral

  • A. basic
  • B. acidic
  • C. neutral
  • D. cannot be presicted without data

Explanation

At the usual introductory level, Na2SO4 is considered to come from a strong acid and a strong base, so its solution is treated as neutral. Students may choose basic because sulfate is a negative ion, but the small hydrolysis of sulfate is normally neglected in this question. Strictly, sulfate hydrolysis can make the solution very slightly basic.

About Properties of Liquids

Liquid behavior depends on intermolecular forces, which produce surface tension, viscosity, capillary action and a definite volume without a fixed shape. The topic also covers vapor pressure, evaporation, boiling point and the effect of temperature and external pressure, while distinguishing evaporation at the surface from boiling throughout the liquid.
