    Solution of potash alum is acidic in nature. This is due to hydrolysis of

    A) \[SO_{4}^{2-}\]          

    B) \[{{K}^{+}}\]

    C) \[Al{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\]      

    D)         \[A{{l}^{3+}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] \[A{{l}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}\] is a salt of weak base and a strong acid hence on hydrolysis it will produce\[Al{{(OH)}_{3}}\] and \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}.\] Since \[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\] is a strong acid and \[Al{{(OH)}_{3}}\] is is a weak base hence the solution will be acidic due to \[SO_{4}^{--}.\]
