प्रश्न
The salt whose aqueous solution will have no effect on either red litmus or blue litmus is
(a) potassium sulphate
(b) sodium carbonate
(c) ammonium sulphate
(d) sodium acetate
उत्तर
potassium sulphate
Potassium sulphate (K2SO4) is formed from a strong acid, sulphuric acid (H2SO4), and a strong base, potassium hydroxide (KOH). On dissolving in water, K2SO4 hydrolyses to form equal amounts of H+ and OH- ions. As the salt solution of K2SO4 is neutral, it has no effect on red or blue litmus paper.

The Salt Story
From: The New Indian Express 9 March 2021
The salt pans in Marakkanam, a port town about 120 km from Chennai are the third largest producer of salt in Tamil Nadu. Separation of salt from water is a laborious process and the salt obtained is used as raw materials for manufacture of various sodium compounds.
One such compound is Sodium hydrogen carbonate, used in baking, as an antacid and in soda acid fire extinguishers.
The table shows the mass of various compounds obtained when 1litre of sea water is evaporated.
| COMPOUND | FORMULA | MASS OF SOLID PRESENT /g |
| Sodium Chloride | NaCl | 28.0 |
| Magnesium Chloride | MgCl2 | 8.0 |
| Magnesium Sulphate | MgSO4 | 6.0 |
| Calcium Sulphate | CaSO4 | 2.0 |
| Calcium Carbonate | CaCO3 | 1.0 |
| TOTAL AMOUNT OF SALT OBTAINED | 45.0 | |
