Choose the correct answer from the options —
(i) To increase the pH value of a neutral solution, we should add :
- An acid
- An acid salt
- An alkali
- A salt
(ii) Anhydrous iron [III] chloride is prepared by:
- Direct combination
- Simple displacement
- Decomposition
- Neutralization
Answer
(i) An alkali
Reason — The pH of alkali solutions is more than 7 therefore in order to increase the pH value of a neutral solution, an alkali should be added.
(ii) Direct combination
Reason — Anhydrous iron [III] chloride is prepared by direct combination of iron and chloride as follows —
2Fe + 3Cl2 ⟶ 2FeCl3
