Acid. for future reference, acids contain hydrogen and a negative ion, bases have hydroxide and a positive ion and salts have a positively charged ion (except hydrogen) and a negatively charged ion (except hydroxide)

∙ 12y agoIn the Arrhenius acid/base theory, an acid is anything that donates a hydrogen atom (aka a proton). Since acetic acid (HC2H3O2) fulfills this requirement, yes, it is an Arrhenius acid.

Is HC2H3O2 a base?
'HC2H3O2' is a rather poor way of writing the formula for ethanoic(acetic) acid. It is usually written as 'CH3COOH'.
What are the examples of salt of weak acid and a strong base?
HC2H3O2 + NaOH ---> NaAc + H2O Acetic acid + sodium hydroxide ---> Sodium acetate + water Read more >> Options >> http://www.answers.com?initiator=FFANS
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
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
Is vinegar a base in water?
The active ingredient in vinegar is acetic acid (HC2H3O2), which 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.

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.
Name of hc2h3o2?
Acetic acid
What is the conclusion of acid base and salt?
guys the conclusion of acid base and salt is a salt only..... good luck guys...........
