Question

Which of the following would produce a basic aqueous solution?

A. P4O10
B. KCl
C. CO2
D. NH4Cl
E. none of these


and pleas explain your answer. i am confused about this

Answer 1

I THINK tha't the p4o10 would do htat , and the reason that i think this is because it's the first one in teh list, and sometimes they put the first answer in teh first place becasue they want you to go down and look at all the answers, nice try, but really just pick the firtst one. the worst that can happen is that it is wrong and you have to go work in the fields shooting the mice.

Answer 2

Phosphorous pentoxide is a gas and produces unstable phosphorous acid with water.Potassium chloride is a salt and it dissolves in water to produce the neutral solution.Carbon dioxide is a gas sparingly soluble in water to produce a very weak acid.Ammonium chloride is also a weak acid.
E---is the correct choice.
