Question

State why potassium bicarbonate is called an acidic salt? Give another example of this type.

Answer

Potassium bicarbonate is called an acidic salt because it is formed by the partial neutralization of an acid (carbonic acid) with a weak base (potassium hydroxide), resulting in an ion that has acidic properties. Another example of this type is sodium dihydrogen phosphate (NaH₂PO₄).
