Multiple choice salts salts and their classification acids, bases and salts chemistry

In the reaction, $BaCl _{2}(aq)+K _{2}SO _{4}(aq)\rightarrow BaSO _4(s)+2KCl(aq)$, which is not a spectator ion?

  1. $K^{+}$
  2. $Cl^{-}$
  3. $Ba^{2+}$ and $SO _{4}^{-2}$
  4. Both $A$ and $B$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Ions that are not involved in the formation of insoluble solid are called as spectator ions.


Therefore, $Ba^{2+}$ and $SO _{4}^{2-}$ ions form insoluble solid.

Hence they are not spectator ions.


Option C is correct.

B Correct answer
Explanation

Zinc metal with dilute nitric acid gives zinc nitrate.

So, simple displacement-active metal & dilute acid is the correct option for this.

$Zn+2HNO _3 \rightarrow Zn(NO _3) _2+H _2$

Hence, the correct option is $(B)$.

Explanation

Copper reacts with nitric acid to form copper nitrate.


$3Cu+8HNO _3 \rightarrow 3Cu(NO _3) _2+4H _2O+2NO$

Hence, the correct option is simple displacement-active metal & dilute acid.  


Hence, the correct option is $(C)$

$Na _2O+2HCl\rightarrow \ ?$

  1. $NaOH+H _2$
  2. $2NaCl+H _2O$
  3. $NaOH+Cl _2$
  4. $2NaCl+O _2$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

When any element who comes before hydrogen in the reactivity series reacts with a compound containing hydrogen, it displaces the hydrogen from the compound, since it's reactivity is more than that of hydrogen.

Here, $Na _2O$ is a basic metal oxide containing Na which is more reactive than the Hydrogen present in the acid $HCl$ and thus the Na replaces hydrogen from the acid, leading to the formation of salt and water.
Salt and water are formed because the reaction takes place between acidic and basic species.
$Na _2O+2HCl \rightarrow 2NaCl+H _2O$
Hence, the correct answer is option (B).
