Analyze the following salts with respect to their acid-base chemistry as directed: (1) write the cation, state whether it is acidic, basic, or essentially neutral, and explaining your reasoning; (2) write the anion, state whether it is acidic, basic, or essentially neutral, and explain your reasoning; and (3) state whether an aqueous solution of this salt would be acidic, basic, or neutral. If neither the cation or the anion is neutral,explain your reasoning for the overall solution. Do not forget to include the charges when writing the ions.
