Question

A salt, X is prepared by the complete neutralization of Cu(OH)2 with H2SO4. The nature of X is __________

  1. Acidic
  2. Basic
  3. Neutral
  4. Amophoteric

hintHint:

Cu left parenthesis OH right parenthesis subscript 2 space plus space straight H subscript 2 SO subscript 4 space rightwards arrow space straight H subscript 2 straight O space plus space CuSO subscript 4 space

The correct answer is: Acidic


    The nature of X is Acidic.
    • Due to the fact that hydrogen ions outnumber hydroxyl ions in water and cupric hydroxide is a weak base while sulphuric acid is a strong acid, the aqueous solution of copper sulphate is acidic in nature.
    • Thus, in solution, Cu(SO)4 will have an acidic pH.
