Solution
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.
