Which of the following is mixed salt?
Correct answer: B. NaKCO₃
- A. Na₂SO₄
- B. NaKCO₃
- C. CaCl2
- D. NaCl
Explanation
A mixed salt is one that contains more than one type of cation or anion. In the given options, NaKCO₃ contains both sodium (Na⁺) and potassium (K⁺) cations, making it a mixed salt. In contrast, Na₂SO₄, CaCl2, and NaCl are normal salts, each containing only one type of cation and one type of anion, hence they are not mixed salts.

About Acids, Bases and Salts
Acid and base behaviour is explained through the Bronsted-Lowry transfer of protons and the Lewis donation or acceptance of electron pairs. The topic includes pH, pOH, ionisation and water equilibrium, plus salt formation and hydrolysis, where a salt solution may become acidic, basic or neutral.
