Do all salts form neutral solutions with water?
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
