Are salts acids?
No; salts can be acidic, basic or neutral.
Are salts all acids?
No; salts can be acidic, basic or neutral.
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 are the ways of classifying salts?
Examples: organic or inorganic salts, basic or acidic salts, natural or artificial salts etc.
What do salts normally have a PH of?
Water solutions of salts can be neutral, acidic or basic.
Why can the pH of dissolved salts vary?
Because salts can be in water solutions neutral, acidic or basic.
Are salts acidic or basic?
Salts formed from strong acid and strong base are neither acidic nor basic. Salts formed from strong acid and weak base are slightly acidic. Salts formed from weak acid and strong base are slightly basic.
What are the types of salt in chemistry?
there are three types of salt, they are 1) Acidic salt: the salt which is acidic in nature is called acidic salt. 2) Basic salt: the salt which is basic in nature is called basic salt. 3) neutral salt: the salt which is neutral is called neutral salt.
Is oxide acidic radical?
No, oxide is not an acidic radical. Oxide is a basic radical because it reacts with acids to form salts and water.
Why are some salts still acidic or basic?
Salts can be acidic or basic depending on the cation and anion they are composed of. If the cation comes from a weak base or the anion comes from a weak acid, the salt can be acidic or basic. For example, ammonium chloride is acidic because the ammonium ion comes from a weak base (ammonia) while the chloride ion comes from a strong acid (hydrochloric acid).
Is carbon dioxide is a basic oxide?
No, it is weakly acidic, forming carbonate and bicarbonate salts.
What are the characteristics of salts and neutralizations?
Salts are the products of a reaction between an acid and a base: - salts may be soluble or insoluble in water - water solutions of salts may be acidic, basic or neutral - salts may be ionic compounds
