Determining if Salt is acidic or neutral

Question

Determine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, simply write only NR. RbClO

How do I solve this?

Answer 1

RbClO was made from RbOH + HClO

RbOH is a strong base

HClO is a weak acid

The salt of a strong base and a weak acid will be BASIC.

The equilibrium expression would be...

ClO^- + H₂O ==> HClO + OH^-
