QQuestion
The acid which does not form acid salt by a basic radical: [1]
- H2CO3
- H3PO4
- H2SO4
- CH3COOH
Exam-ready answer • 01 Mark
✓Answer
d. CH3COOH
Explanation:
Acetic acid is monobasic: only the hydrogen of its carboxyl (–COOH) group is replaceable by a basic radical.
Replacing this hydrogen forms a normal salt, such as sodium acetate (CH3COONa). No replaceable acidic hydrogen remains to form an acid salt.
