MCQ
The salt whose aqueous solution will have no effect on either red litmus or blue litmus is:
  • A
    Potassium sulphate.
  • B
    Sodium carbonate.
  • C
    Ammonium sulphate.
  • D
    Sodium acetate.

Answer

  1. Potassium sulphate.

Explanation:

Potassium sulphate (K2SO4) is formed from a strong acid, sulphuric acid (H2SO4), and a strong base, potassium hydroxide (KOH). On dissolving in water, K2SO4 hydrolyses to form equal amounts of H+ and OH- ions. As the salt solution of K2SO4is neutral, it has no effect on red or blue litmus paper.
