A salt can be acidic, neutral, basic or amphoteric (from Greek: "amphoteroi" (ἀμφότεροι), meaning "both")
- a. It is acidic when it has pH<7 in solution; eg. NH4Cl, (NH4+)aq is a weak acid
(pH of 0.1 M ammonium solution is about 5.2).
- b. A lot of salts are neutral. They have pH of (about) 7 when dissolved; eg. NaCl
- c. You'll not be surprised that basic salts have pH>7; eg. Na(CH3COO) sodium acetate, CH3COO- is a weak base.
- d. Even amphoteric is possible, but pH is more difficult to predict in general; eg. NH4(CH3COO)

basic salt
Is Na3PO4 an acidic salt or normal salt?
H3PO4Is phosphoric acid, a strong acid. This would have to react with a strong base, such as NaOH, to produce a salt.3NaOH + H3PO4 --> Na3PO4 + 3H2OThe salt produced is sodium phosphate.
Is Na2HPO4 acidic or basic salt or normal salt?
i don't , it seem be an acid NaH2PO4, Sodium dihydrogen phosphate, is an acid. The two hydrogen atoms can dissociate and lower the ph of a solution. That is to make it more acidic. Once all the hydrogen atoms that can dissociate have been replaced by sodium Na. the formula will look like this Na3PO4, at that point it would be called a 'salt' with a neutral ph.
Is NH4Br basic or acidic?
it is a salt of weak base, ammonium hydroxide and strong acid ,hydrobromic acid. Therefore this salt is acidic in nature.
