Question

The nature of aqueous solution of potassium nitrate is ______.

विकल्प

• acid

• basic

• neutral

• alkaline

Answer 1

The nature of aqueous solution of potassium nitrate is neutral.

Explanation:

Potassium nitrate (KNO₃) is a salt produced from a strong acid (nitric acid, HNO₃) and a strong base (potassium hydroxide, KOH). When potassium nitrate dissolves in water, it dissociates into potassium ions (K⁺) and nitrate ions \[\ce{(NO^-_3)}\], which do not significantly react with water to generate H⁺ or OH⁻ ions, resulting in a neutral solution.
