Answer:

1)NH4ClO4: acidic

2)NH4CN: basic

3)LiF: basic

4)KCN: basic

5)LiNO3: neutral

6)NH4Br: acidic

7)SrBr2: neutral

Step-by-step explanation:

Salt is an ionic compound formed by the neutralization reaction between an acid and a base.The cation of base and anion from an acid combines to form a salt while H+ from acid and OH- from base forms water.

1)NH4Cl4: is an acidic salt formed from neutralization reaction between strong acid and a weak base.

2)NH4CN: is a basic salt formed from neutralization reaction between weak acid and weak base.

3)LiF: basic salt formed from neutralization reaction between strong acid and strong base.

4)KCN: basic salt formed from neutralization reaction between weak acid and strong base.

5)LiNO3: neutral salt formed from neutralization reaction between strong acid and strong base.

6)NH4Br: acidic salt formed from neutralization reaction between strong acid and weak base.

7)SrBr2: neutral acid formed from neutralization reaction between

strong acid and strong base.
