Yes.
Salt dissolves in water to form a solution.
When an acidic and basic solution are mixed together, they neutralize each other to form water and a salt. The hydrogen ions from the acid react with the hydroxide ions from the base to form water, while the remaining ions combine to form a salt. This reaction is known as a neutralization reaction.
When acidified silver nitrate solution is added to a solution of low sodium salt, it would form a white precipitate of silver chloride. This is due to the chloride ions in the low sodium salt reacting with the silver ions in the silver nitrate solution to form silver chloride, which is insoluble in water.
Compounds that produce hydroxide ions in solution are called bases. Some common examples include sodium hydroxide (NaOH), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2). When dissolved in water, these compounds release hydroxide ions (OH-) which can react with acids to form water and a salt in a neutralization reaction.
A solution. The salt molecules dissociate into ions in the water.
When silver nitrate is added to distilled water, it will dissociate into silver ions (Ag+) and nitrate ions (NO3-), causing the solution to become slightly acidic. When silver nitrate is added to a salt solution, it will react with the salt to form a precipitate of insoluble silver salt, such as silver chloride (AgCl). This will cause a milky white precipitate to form in the solution.
Dispersion & Dissociation
No, salt is a compound composed of sodium and chloride ions. When salt is dissolved in water, it forms a homogeneous solution where the salt ions are evenly distributed throughout the solvent.
Ionic compounds are substances that form ions in solution. These compounds are composed of positively charged cations and negatively charged anions that dissociate in water to form free ions. Examples include table salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3).
pH is a measure of the concentration of hydronium ions in a solution. pOH is a measure of the concentration of hydroxide ions in a solution. When a salt is placed into a solution (typically an aqueous solution), the cation and anion can either dissociate completely or partially, and can react with other ions in solution. If the salt pulls hydroxide ions out of solution, the solution becomes more acidic, and if the salt pulls hydronium ions out of solution, the solution will become more basic. So, if you want to determine the "strength" of a salt, add it to water and measure the hydronium ion concentration of that solution.
No, salt and water do not chemically combine to form a new compound. Salt (sodium chloride) dissolves in water to form a solution, where the salt ions are surrounded by water molecules through a process called hydration.
When iron is immersed in an acidic solution, it can react with the hydrogen ions from the acid to form ferrous ions (Fe2+). These ferrous ions can then react with hydroxide ions (OH-) in the solution to form iron(II) hydroxide (Fe(OH)2), which is a metallic hydroxide compound.
