Question Number 31906 by Tinkutara last updated on 16/Mar/18

Answered by rahul 19 last updated on 18/Mar/18

Na_2 HPO_3 : neutral salt.  NaHS: acidic salt

$${Na}_{\mathrm{2}} {HPO}_{\mathrm{3}} :\:{neutral}\:{salt}. \\ $$$${NaHS}:\:{acidic}\:{salt} \\ $$

Why NaHS=acidic salt? Na is strong base and H2S is weak acid so why not basic salt?

it is so as acidic hyrogen are still  present in salt.

$${it}\:{is}\:{so}\:{as}\:{acidic}\:{hyrogen}\:{are}\:{still} \\ $$$${present}\:{in}\:{salt}. \\ $$

But acidic salt means its pH<7 but due to strong base Na it's pH>7. Isn't it wrong then?

intermidiates formed during the  reaction of polyprotic acids with  base are acidic . and the final product  is basic (Na_2 S). this is also applicable  for polyprotic bases!
