Question

Which statement is correct? Salts are formed by the reaction of bases with water. Most salts are ionic and are soluble in water. Most salts are insoluble in water and lack electrical charges. Solutions of salt and water do not conduct electricity.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct statement is "most salts are ionic and are soluble in water"

Explanation:

Salts are made up of cation (positively charged species) and anion (negatively charged species). These oppositely charged species are held together by ionic forces.

Water is a polar solvent.Therefore it prefers polar solutes. Salts are therefore likely to be soluble in water.

Acid and base reacts to give salt and water. Hence salts are produced from acid base reaction.

In aqueous solution, cations and anions remain in separated form and therefore free to move. Hence aqueous solution of salt can conduct electricity.

Answer 2

Salts are formed by the reaction of bases with water. -  FALSE
Most salts are ionic and are soluble in water. -  TRUE
Most salts are insoluble in water and lack electrical charges. - FALSE
