Mineral acids are stronger acids than carboxylic acids because
Mineral acids are completely ionised
Carboxylic acids are completely ionised
Mineral acids are partially ionised
Carboxylic acids are partially ionised
Important Questions on Acids, Bases and Salts
The salt solution which does not react with ammonium hydroxide is:
I. It is a salt of strong acid and a strong base.
II. Ammonium sulphate solution turns blue litmus into red.
III. Solution of this salt contains more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions.
IV. Aqueous solution of this salt behaves like solution with litmus paper.
Give the appropriate term defined by the statement given below:
The substance that releases hydronium ion as the only positive ion when dissolved in water
You are provided with aqueous solutions of three salts and . drops of blue litmus solution, red litmus solution and phenolphthalein were added to each of these solutions in separate experiments. The change in colour of different indicators were recorded in the following table:
| Sample | With blue litmus solution | With red litmus solution | With phenolphthelein |
| A | No change | Turns blue | Turns pink |
| B | No change | No change | No change |
| C | Turns red | No change | No change |
On the basis of above observations, identify and from the following options:
Assertion: The amphoteric behaviour of water is explained by Lewis acid base theory
Reason: water acts as acid with and base with
