Activity- Write the formulae of the salts given below. Potassium sulphate, sodium sulphate, calcium sulphate, magnesium sulphate, copper sulphate, sodium chloride, sodium nitrate, sodium carbonate and ammonium chloride.

·      Identify the acids and bases from which the above salts may be obtained.

·      Salts having the same positive or negative radicals are said to belong to the same family. For example, NaCI and Na₂SO₄ belong to the family of sodium salts. Similarly, NaCI and KCI belong to the family of chloride salts. How many families can you identify among the salts given in this activity?
