If you react an acid and a base together, eg. HCl + NaOH, the compounds will disassociate into ions, and then the H+ and OH- ions combine to produce water, and the other ions, eg. Cl- and Na+, will form a salt, eg. NaCl

What happens if base and acid combined?

neutral salt will form.


Is BaCl2 Acidic?

BaCl2 is a neutral salt and does not exhibit acidic properties. When dissolved in water, it will dissociate into ions to form a solution with a pH close to 7.


Is salt a neutral acid or alkali?

Table salt is neutral.


What do acids react with to form a neutral solution?

Acids react with bases to form a neutral solution. This reaction typically produces water and a salt compound.


Can acid react to a neutral?

Acids react with neutrals to form salts and water. The reaction between an acid and a neutral is a type of acid-base reaction, where the acid donates a proton (H+) to the neutral to form a salt and water.


Is salt water is acidic or base?

Salt water is neutral.


How many Na plus ions will combine with an O2- to form a neutral salt?

Two Na plus ions will combine with an O2- to form the basic compound sodium oxide. When water is further added, the neutral salt, sodium hydroxide is formed.


Is salt and water neutral on the pH scale?

Water solution of salt is neutral.


How to determine whether a salt is a acid salt or normal salt?

By definition, salt is completely neutral. Acids and bases neutralize each other to form salts (which is any ionic compound technically).


When salt forms from positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine the charge on the salt becomes negative?

When salt forms from positively charged sodium and negatively charged chlorine, the charges cancel each other out and the overall charge on the salt is neutral. Each sodium ion (Na+) and each chloride ion (Cl-) combine in a 1:1 ratio to form neutral salt (NaCl).


What is the pH value of salt solution?

Salt is neutral, and water is neutral so I think it must be neutral (pH 7).


What do you add to a base to make it neutral?

You add an acid to a base to neutralize it. The acid and base react to form water and a salt, resulting in a neutral solution.
