Which one of these salts will form a basic solution upon dissolving in water A) NaI B) NaF C) NH₄NO₃ D) LiBr E) Cr(NO₃)₃

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NaF is a salt of a strong base (NaOH) and a weak acid (HF), so upon dissolving in water it will produce hydroxide ions (OH-) and create a basic solution. The other salts listed do not contain a cation or anion that would produce hydroxide ions in water, and therefore would not form a basic solution.
