What does NaHSO4 dissociate into?

NaHSO4 is a very weak acid, in water it will dissociate into Na+ and HSO4- ions and HSO4- can give off some protons since it acts as a weak acid.

Why is NaHSO4 an acidic salt?

It is formed by the complete replacement of ionizable H+ ions of H2SO4. As NaHSO4 has one replaceable H+ ion. It can react with base so it is acidic salt.

Is NaHSO4 acidic or basic when dissolved in water?

NaHSO4 is also an ‘acidic salt’ as its its aqueous solution is distinctly acidic in nature. Usually, an acidic salt is a salt of strong acid and a weak base which produces H+ ions by interaction with water molecules (hydrolysis). Typical examples of such an acidic salt are AlCl3, FeCl3, CuSO4, Pb(NO3)2 etc.

How is NaHSO4 formed?

Sodium bisulfate is produced as an intermediate in the Mannheim process, an industrial process involving the reaction of sodium chloride and sulfuric acid: NaCl + H2SO4 → HCl + NaHSO. This step is highly exothermic. The liquid sodium bisulfate is sprayed and cooled so that it forms a solid bead.

What happens in the reaction between NaCl and NaHSO4?

NaCl + NaHSO4 Na2SO4 + HCl. Sodium chloride react with sodium bisulfate to produce sodium sulfate and hydrogen chloride. This reaction takes place at a temperature of 450-800°C [8] (450-600°C [17]).

Is the Sodium bisulphate in NaHSO4 an acid?

NaHSO4 or Sodium bisulphate belongs to the category of acid salts. You are right! It is not an acid but is ‘acidic’ in nature.

Why does nahs04 show the properties of an acid?

NaHS04 ionise in water to give hydronium ions and therefore it shows all the properties of an acid. These acidic salts are formed when the amount of base taken is insufficient for the complete neutralization of the acid. How do you write the equation of a hydrolysis reaction of Na 2 CO 3?

Are there acid salts like NaHSO4 and KHCO3?

Both NaHSO4 and KHCO3 are definitely salts. They are formed by the partial neutralisation of dibasic acids,H2SO4 and H2CO3, by the alkalis NaOH and KOH respectively. They cannot be called acids because they don’t liberate H+ ions in aqueous solution.
