How can you determine if a salt is behaving as an acid or a base?

There are two definitions
1.According to Arrhenius an acid produces hydrogen(H+) ions, and bases produces hydroxides ions (OH-). This one is a limited concept.
2. The Bronted-Lowry model, and acid is a proton(H+) donor and a base is a proton(H+) acceptor. This concept is more exact.
A salt is an ionic compound form by a metal and a nonmetal.

What is formed when an acid and a base is mixed?
when an acid and a base combine, salt and water are formed. This process of reaction of an acid and base is called neutralisation.
What chunky substance occurs when an acid and a base mix?
Acid + Base → Water + Salt So it's salt.
Is NiNO3 an acid or base?
It is a salt formed from strong acid and strong base and hence it is neither acidic nor basic.
Why is water always the product of neutralization?
acid + base → salt + water a salt and water are formed from the reaction between an acid and a base
Is HF and acid base or salt?
HF is a weak acid.
What is formed when an acid and a base is mixed?
when an acid and a base combine, salt and water are formed. This process of reaction of an acid and base is called neutralisation.
Is Salt formed when an acid or a base react chemically?
Yes. An acid-base reaction forms a salt and water. acid+ + base− = salt + water
Is FeCL3 an electrolyte?
Yes, it is a Lewis acid. To determine whether a salt is acidic or basic, try the following.1. Figure out which acid and base would make the salt (in this case Fe(OH)3 and HCl).2. Whichever of the acid or base is the stronger is what the salt will be. In this case, HCl is a strong acid, iron(III) hydroxide is a weak base, so the salt is acidic.
How does salt neutralise?
I'm assuming you mean a salt neutralising an acid or base- This can not actually happen, because a salt is already 'Neutralised' An acid can neutralise a base, and a base neutralise an acid, but when Base+Acid reacts, a salt is formed. Adding a salt to a acid or base solution will only make it salty.
What forms when base react with acid they form salt and what?
acid+ base= salt + water
What is the general form for the simplest type of acid base reaction?
Acid + base salt + water
What are the reactants and products in a neutralization reaction?
In a neutralisation reaction, an acid and a base will react to form a salt and water. This salt will be either acidic, basic or neutral depending upon the pH of the reactions. General rules:weak acid + strong base → basic salt + waterstrong acid + weak base → acidic salt + waterstrong acid + strong base → neutral salt + waterweak acid + weak base → neutral salt + water
Can an acid and a base react to form an acid?
NO!!!! Remember the general acid reaction equations. Acid + Base = Salt +Water Acid +Alkali = Salt + Water Acid +Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.
Is KNO3 a acid a base a salt or a non-electrolyte?
Potassium Nitrate is a salt
What is the conclusion of acid base and salt?
guys the conclusion of acid base and salt is a salt only..... good luck guys...........
What is an acid neutralized by?
An Acid is neutralised by a Base , Alkali or Carboinate. Remember the general equations. Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Base = Salt + Water Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soluble Base.
Is barium sulfate an acid or a base?
Barium Sulfate (BaSO4) is neither an acid nor a base it is a salt
