Which of the following ionic compounds forms a neutral aqueous solution at 25 °C? A) NaHSO₃ B) LiClO₃ C) KOCl D) NH₄F E) Li₂S

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LiCl is a neutral compound because both lithium and chlorine have the same charge magnitude and can cancel each other out in terms of electrical charge. When dissolved in water, they dissociate into hydrated ions and since they have the same charge magnitude, they will cancel each other out in the same manner as mentioned before. The other compounds listed have either a positive or negative charge, decreasing the likelihood of a neutral aqueous solution.
