Correct Answer: Only I
Solution : The correct answer is Only I.
Salts of a strong acid and weak base are acidic with a pH value of less than 7. Salts formed from the combination of a strong acid and a weak base will result in an acidic solution. When electricity is passed through an aqueous solution of Sodium Chloride (brine), it undergoes electrolysis to form sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Chlorine gas (Cl 2 ), not Sodium oxide.
