103. Minimum pH is shown by aqueous solution of
(1) 0.1 M BaC12
(2) 0.1 M Ba(NO3)2
(3) 0.1 M BeC12
(4) 0.1 M Ba(OH)2
The correct option is (3).
This is because:
-Acidic character increases across a period from left to right.
- Acidic character decreases down the group.
Using above two statements, we see that Barium salts are basic in nature, while Be salt is acidic as Be is metalloid.
Thus, BeCl2 has the lowest pH.
