Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LiF is a salt of a strong base (LiOH) and a weak acid (HF). When it is dissolved in water, it undergoes hydrolysis and releases F- ions, which react with water to form OH- ions. This results in an increase in pH, making it the salt that produces the highest pH solution when dissolved in water.
