Amongst the following, the total number of compounds whose aqueous solution turns red litmus paper blue is $\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{KCN} & \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{SO}_4 & \left(\mathrm{NH}_4\right)_2 \mathrm{C}_2 \mathrm{O}_4 & \mathrm{NaCl} \\ &\mathrm{Zn}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_2 & \mathrm{FeCl}_3 & \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3 & \mathrm{NH}_4 \mathrm{NO}_3 \\ &\mathrm{LiCN} & & & \end{aligned}$

Solution

The aqueous solution of $\mathrm{KCN}, \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{CO}_3$ and LiCN turn red litmus blue because of alkaline nature. The anionic hydrolysis turns the solution alkaline. Ionic equilibrium Conceptual III
