yes, all salts are formed from an acid and a base. More specifically, all salts are made from a metal and a nonmetal.

Are all salts neutral in nature?

Salt can be neutral, acidic, or basic. Salts are formed through the reaction of an acid and a base. If the reaction involves a strong acid and a strong base, the resulting salt is neutral (like NaCl table salt). A weak acid and a strong base result in a basic salt, and a strong acid and a weak base form an acid salt.


Do all salts form neutral solutions with water?

All salts are neutral in terms of electrical charge but not necessarily in terms of acidity/basisity. Salts formed by the reaction of a strong acid and a strong base are generally neautral. Examples include sodium chloride (NaCl) and potassium nitrate (KNO3) Salts formed by a strong acid and a weak base are acidic. Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is an example. Salts formed by a weak acid and a strong base are basic, example include sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and lithium carbonate (Li2CO3). Metal hydroxides are also basic salts. Examples include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2


Will there be a reaction if all reactants and possible products are aqueous while no insoluble salts precipitate are formed?

There will be no reaction if all the reactants and possible products are aqueous while there is no insoluble salts precipitate that are formed.


What is the difference between acid salt and normal salt?

The water solution of a normal salt is neutral. The ions are not hydrolysed. Thee water solution of an acid salt has the pH under 7.The acid salts are also the products of reactions between an acid and a base, but the neutralization is only partially.


Do all neutralization process neutral salts is produce?

Neutralization reactions (combination of a base and an acid) will always produce a salt and water, with salt meaning any ionic compound that isn't an oxide.

What are all the type of salts?

Salts are the products of a reaction between a base and an acid.


What is the difference between ions and salts?

1. Salts are products of a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base. 2. Ions are formed by dissociation of salts, bases, acids dissolved in water.


How salts are different elements?

Of course. That's exactly what the difference between them is. A salt is "a chemical compound formed by replacing all or part of the hydrogen ions of an acid with one or more cations of a base."


How you can identify salt as electrolyte or non electrolyte?

I don't think you will find many non-electrolytic salts. Salts are formed by Acid-Base neutralization reaction. There are four possible types of reactants involved based on their dissociation strengths. i.e. 1.Strong acid and Strong base (Eg HCl and NaOH) 2. Strong acid and weak base (Eg HCl and NH4OH) 3. Weak acid and strong base (Eg HCOOH and NaOH) 4. Both weak acid and base (Eg HCOOH and NH4OH) In all the cases, neutralization takes place to form salts. And surprisingly, the salts formed i.e., NaCl, NH4Cl,HCOO-Na and H-COO-NH4 respectively, irrespective of the strengths of the reactants are found to be strong electrolytes.

Is a sodium fatty acid salt the same as a carboxylic acid salt?

A fatty acid salt is a kind of carboxylic acid salt. But not all carboxylic acid salts are fatty acid salts.


What is an acid reacting with a base called?

All acids react with bases. The reaction is called neutralisation reaction. Mostly ionic salts are produced and water.


Is ammonium sulfate an acid or base?

No it is not. Examples of Acids, Bases, Alkali and Salt. Hydrochloric Acid is an Acid. All Acids end with the word "Acid" Copper (II) Oxide is a base. All bases end with the word "Oxide" Copper (II) Hydroxide is an Alkali. All Alkali end with the word "Hydroxide". An alkali is basically a soluble base. The rest would be salts. In this case, Ammonium Chloride is a salt.


The nuetrilization of an acid by a base produces?

Neutralization reactions are a double replacement reaction between an acid in a base. In the most common acid base neutralization reactions the products are water (H2O) and an ionic salt (all ionic compounds can be considered "salts" not just the one for flavoring food. for example HCl + NaOH -----> H2O + NaCl


What is a salt called in chemistry?

Any chemical compound formed from the reaction of an acid with a base, with all or part of the hydrogen of the acid replaced by a metal or other cation.
