[Catalist] Acidic/ Basic Salts

[Roy Skinner]

Becaause H2SO4 has a k value of about 1 million HSO4 cannot possibly react wwith water to go to it. It can only be a weal acid.

Question for the chemists:

 

Q: Is NaHSO4 and acidic or basic salt and why? Or in other words when HSO4- ion reacts with water, does it produce H2SO4 and H+ or SO42- and OH-? Why is one reaction favoured over the other?

 

 

Thanks

 

Andrew.
