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

∙ 9y agoNot all water soluble salts are neutral. Basic salts will form hydroxide ions in water. Acidic salts will form hydronium ions in water.
Wiki User
∙ 9y agoNo, all water solutions of salts are not natural. This is because salts have two different ions. They have a cation (or positive ion) and an anion (or negative ion).
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoSome are and some are not. Sodium Chloride is neutral. Zinc chloride is acidic.

∙ 14y agoNo. Many can drastically affect the pH in eitehr direction from neutral.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoNo they do no all form neutral solutions with water.
Salts that will form neutral solutions with water are ones with cations from a strong base or anions of strong acids.

What is it called when water-rich solutions carrying metallic salts fill cracks and form?
veins
Why doesn't reaction between equal amounts of an acid and a base always produce a neutral solution?
The amount of base needed to neutralize an acid depends on the alkalinity of the acid and of the base. ------------------ Because some salts formed during the neutralization form non-neutral water solutions.
What will form electrolyte solutions in water when ionized?
Any ionized chemical will cause water to become electrically conductive. In general, salts are the best example.
Ions which allow a solution to conduct electricity are known as?
Salts that ionize in water and form solutions that can conduct a current are called electrolyte.example: sodium chloride,potassium chloride.
How do you determine the pH of each solution?
acidic, neutral, or basic. Salts that form from a strong acid and a weak base are acid salts, like ammonium chloride

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.

What will form electrolyte solutions in water when ionized?
Any ionized chemical will cause water to become electrically conductive. In general, salts are the best example.
Are metal hydroxides dissolved in water neutral?
Metal hydroxides dissolved in water form basic solutions, with a pH greater than 7.
Ions which allow a solution to conduct electricity are known as?
Salts that ionize in water and form solutions that can conduct a current are called electrolyte.example: sodium chloride,potassium chloride.
Will a precipitate form if solutions of the soluble salts AgNO3 and KI are mixed?
Yes, AgI is insoluble, therefore will form a precipitate.
Is a nitrate aqueous or solid?
Nitrates are salts and generally form stable solids, they are generally soluble and form aqueous solutions.
How do you determine the pH of each solution?
acidic, neutral, or basic. Salts that form from a strong acid and a weak base are acid salts, like ammonium chloride
Why must a reaction mixture not be acidic before filtering when making salts?
Because for salt crystals to be able to form, they need water and water has a pH of 7 and is therefore neutral. If the solution is acidic (same goes for alkaline) it is not water so crystals would not form :)
A salt will dissolve in water to form a. ions b. bases c. gases d. bases e. polar solvents?
Salts are dissolved in water when you need to prepare a solution.
How do you determine if a salt is basic?
Salts can create acidic or basic solutions by containing a conjugate base and a weak acid, which when dropped in a solution of water reacts with the water to form a solution with a pH greater than seven.
