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.

ā 9y agoYes. A salt is created by the mixing of acids and bases and removing the water that results. Because the water contains the H+ of the acid and the OH- from the base, the resulting salt is composed of two charged components that balanced each other out.

What are the types of salt in chemistry?
there are three types of salt, they are 1) Acidic salt: the salt which is acidic in nature is called acidic salt. 2) Basic salt: the salt which is basic in nature is called basic salt. 3) neutral salt: the salt which is neutral is called neutral 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
What has no effect on litmus?
neutral substance or salts
Why can the pH of dissolved salts vary?
Because salts can be in water solutions neutral, acidic or basic.
What are three characteristics of salts and neutralization?
Salts are the products of a reaction between an acid and a base: - salts may be soluble or insoluble in water - water solutions of salts may be acidic, basic or neutral - salts may be ionic compounds
Is neutral a property of all salts?
Not all salts are neutral in water solutions.
Are salts all acids?
No; salts can be acidic, basic or neutral.
What are the types of salt in chemistry?
there are three types of salt, they are 1) Acidic salt: the salt which is acidic in nature is called acidic salt. 2) Basic salt: the salt which is basic in nature is called basic salt. 3) neutral salt: the salt which is neutral is called neutral salt.
What do salts normally have a PH of?
Water solutions of salts can be neutral, acidic or basic.
How do salts form and why they are neutral?
1. Salts are the products of reactions between acids and bases. 2. Salts in solution can be acidic, basic or neutral.
Are salts acids?
No; salts can be acidic, basic or neutral.
Are detergents acid or base?
Solid detergents are neutral salts of long chain sulphonic acids but their aqueous solutions are basic in nature.
Water obtained from natural resources does not show neutral pH. What is the reason behind this?
Water obtained from natural resources does not show neutral pH. What is the reason behind this?The neutral nature of water changes due to its ability to dissociate into H+ and OH- ions.The neutral nature of water changes due to mixing of various salts, bases, and acids, thus changing its pH.The neutral nature of water changes due to mixing of other neutral substances, thus changing its pH.
