Aqueous solutions of salts can be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the behavior of their ions in water.
**Potassium chloride (KCl)** is a salt formed from the reaction of a strong acid (HCl) and a strong base (KOH). When dissolved in water, KCl dissociates into K⁺ and Cl⁻ ions:
\[ KCl \rightarrow K^+ + Cl^- \]
- **K⁺ ion** comes from the strong base KOH and does not hydrolyze or affect the pH of the solution.
- **Cl⁻ ion** comes from the strong acid HCl and similarly does not hydrolyze in water.
Since neither ion affects the pH, the solution remains neutral. Thus, the pH of an aqueous solution of KCl is **7**.
