Vedclass · Answer

(B) $NaHSO_4$ is an acidic salt because it contains a replaceable hydrogen atom and is derived from a strong acid $(H_2SO_4)$ and a weak base $(NaOH)$. $NaH_2PO_3$ is also an acidic salt. $HCOONa$ (Sodium formate) is a salt of a weak acid $(HCOOH)$ and a strong base $(NaOH)$,making it a basic salt. Therefore,$HCOONa$ is not an acidic salt.
