JEE Main levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 2 of 3ia183

Given ; for : , ; for : , . Select the correct statement(s) about aqueous solutions of amphiprotic salts.

  1. A solution is basic because for
  2. B solution is acidic because for
  3. C solution is basic because it is a sodium salt of a strong base
  4. DDiluting a solution ten times changes its pH by about one unit

Answer: A, B

For : , so it is basic. For : , so it is acidic. The pH of an amphiprotic ion is nearly independent of concentration, so dilution barely changes it.
