Sodium chloride is a neutral salt.
In solution the number of chloride ions (negative) equals the number of positive ions (sodium). NaCl -> Na+ + Cl- which is neutral in totality (neither acid nor alkaline)
alkaline
It's more neutral than either acidic or alkaline.
acidic
acidic
neutral
no salt is neutral at 25 C when NaCl is placed in water it is producing Na+ and Cl-. the two ions do not react with water as they are both weak so the solution is said to be neutral with pH of 7
The solution is an Alkaline 7 is neutral 1 is very acidic 14 is very alkaline The others are slightly acidic or alkaline
Pure water is not neutral it is amphoteric which means with bases(alkaline) it acts as acidic and with acids it acts as basic(alkaline)
neutral
neutral
pH<7 -----> Acidic pH=7------> Neutral pH>7------>Basic or Alkaline
