Question

The solution of which salt in water is acidic?
  1. Na2B4O7
  2. NaHCO3
  3. KCl
  4. FeCl3

A
NaHCO3
B
Na2B4O7
C
FeCl3
D
KCl
Solution
Verified by Toppr

FeCl3 is acidic in water as Cl do not hydrolyze since it is the anion of a strong acid, HCl.
Fe3+ will hydrolyze to Fe(OH)2
Fe3++H2OFe(OH)2+H+ which is a acidic solution.
So the solution of FeCl3 in water is acidic.
Hence option D is correct.
