Which one of the following salt does not hydrolyzed________________?

Correct answer: A. Na2SO4

  • A. Na2SO4
  • B. AlCl3
  • C. CuSO4
  • D. NH4Cl

Explanation

In the usual school-level approximation, Na2SO4 is treated as a salt of a strong acid and strong base, so its ions do not appreciably hydrolyse and option a is selected. Students may choose NH4Cl because it contains a non-metal ion, but NH4+ hydrolyses and makes that solution acidic. Strictly, SO4^2− undergoes slight hydrolysis, so this answer relies on the standard approximation.

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.
