Which among the following salts turns red litmus blue in its aqueous solution?
- A KCN
- B \(\mathrm{NaNO}_3\)
- C NaCl
- D KCl
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) KCN
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
KCN is the salt of a strong base (KOH) and a weak acid (HCN). Its aqueous solution is basic due to the hydrolysis of \(\mathrm{CN}^-\) ions.
