Identify each salt as acidic, basic, or neutral. The ions from KCl derive from a
strong acid (HCl) and a
strong base (
KOH). Therefore, neither ion will affect the acidity of the solution, so KCl is a neutral salt. Although the K + ion derives from a
strong base (
KOH), the NO 2 ? ion derives from a weak acid (HNO 2).
