Question

Salt of strong acid and weak base have pH value :
  1. Only 7
  2. Less than 7
  3. Only 14
  4. More than 7

A
Less than 7
B
Only 14
C
More than 7
D
Only 7
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Salt of strong acid and weak base have pH value less than 7. The solution is acidic. The hydrolysis of such salts involves hydrolysis of only cations (cationic hydrolysis) yielding free protons.
B++H2OH++BOH
Hence, option A is correct.
