Question

NaHSO4
Is this an acidic acid?

Answer 1

NaHSO4 is sodium bisulfate, which is indeed an acidic salt. It can act as a source of hydrogen ions (H+) in solution, making it acidic. When dissolved in water, NaHSO4 can partially dissociate to release HSO4⁻ ions, which can further dissociate to release protons (H+) and SO4²⁻ ions. Therefore, although NaHSO4 itself is not an acid (like H2SO4, sulfuric acid), it produces acidic conditions in solution.
