Salts will indeed contain a cation, though it also contains an anion. Take table salt for example: Na+Cl-
Sodium (Na+) is the cation, while chlorine (Cl-) is the anion.

What do salts do when they are dissolved into water?
They are dissociated in cations and anions.
Why are the reagents used to test for cations usually alkali metal salts or ammonium salts rather than salts of other metals?
because poo is black
Cations that are insoluble halide salts?
A compound can be insoluble or not; but not the cation. You think probable, for example, to silver halogenides.
What does inorganic acid dissociates into water?
They are called salts
Why is it possible to have 2 different molecular equations that lead to the same precipitate?
One of the commonest kinds of precipitate is salts with very low solubility. The separate cations and anions of these salts generally have many other salts with much higher solubility. Any pair of such more soluble salts will yield the same precipitate, but will have a different molecular equation from any other such pair.
How are salts and ions related?
Salts contain cations and anions.
What do salts do when they are dissolved into water?
They are dissociated in cations and anions.
How are salts different?
The cations and anions are specific for each salt.
How is salt inorganic?
salts are made of cations and anions and are hence inorganic. Also there is no carbon involved in salts
What type of compound does cations and anions compose?
Cations and anions compse ionic chemical compounds.
Why are the reagents used to test for cations usually alkali metal salts or ammonium salts rather than salts of other metals?
because poo is black
What is the difference in valence electrons of cations which produce colored salts and colorless salts?
well the difference is that the electrons that stick together are the ones that produce the colourless salts and the ones that are rebounded off each other pruduce the salts that have colour in them
Cations that are insoluble halide salts?
A compound can be insoluble or not; but not the cation. You think probable, for example, to silver halogenides.
What does inorganic acid dissociates into water?
They are called salts
What kind of compounds produce ions in solution?
Salts produce (metallic) positive catIONS and negative anIONS (of non-metals)
Salts of alkaline earth metals are less soluble than salts of alkali metals because?
A higher cation charge concentrated on the smaller cations makes it hard to pull apart ionic lattices
Which statement is true regarding the solubility of salts ionic solids in water?
Both cations and anions are soluble in water (Study Island answer)
