(i)\u00a0\u00a0 Salts of strong acids and strong bases : <\/strong><\/span>Sodium chloride (NaCl), potassium nitrate (KNO3<\/sub>), sodium sulphate (Na2<\/sub>SO4<\/sub>), etc., are salts of this category. The aqueous solutions of these salts are neutral with pH value of 7.<\/p>\n

(ii) Salts of strong acids and weak bases :<\/strong><\/span> Aluminium chloride (AlCl3<\/sub>), copper sulphate (CuSO4<\/sub>), zinc sulphate (ZnSO4<\/sub>), etc., are salts of this category. The aqueous solutions of these salts are acidic with pH value less than 7.<\/p>\n

(iii) Salts of weak acids and strong bases :<\/strong><\/span> Sodium acetate (CH3<\/sub>COONa), sodium carbonate (Na2<\/sub>CO3<\/sub>) and sodium hydrogencarbonate (NaHCO3<\/sub>) are examples of this category of salts. The aqueous solutions of these salts are basic in nature with pH value more than 7.<\/p>\n
