Which one of the following salts,when dissolved in water,produces the solution with the most basic pH? A)KHCO₃ B)CsClO₄ C)RaO D)CH₃CH₃NH₃Cl

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RaO is an oxide salt and when it dissolves in water it forms a strong base solution due to the hydrolysis of the oxide ion. KHCO₃ and CH₃CH₃NH₃Cl are salts of weak acids, so their solutions will have a acidic pH. CsClO₄ is a neutral salt and will not affect the pH of the solution. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
