It depends on which chloride is being talked about. For example - hydrogen chloride(HCl) is an acid! However, potassium chloride(KCl) is a salt.
Chloride is the conjugate base of hydrochloric acid (HCl), and is commonly found in salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl). In water, chloride ions can act as a weak base by accepting a proton (H+), but they are not considered a strong base like hydroxide ions.
The acid required is Hydrochloric Acid and the base is Ammonium Hydroxide (Ammonia solution in water). If the acid and base are very concentrated and merely placed close to each other, the vapours from them will react immediately to form white clouds of ammonium chloride particles.
Cl is the symbol for the chloride ion, which is the conjugate base of hydrochloric acid (HCl). Therefore, Cl is a base.
Nickel (II) chloride is neither a base nor an acid; it is a salt composed of a metal cation (nickel) and a chlorine anion. It is formed by the reaction of nickel oxide with hydrochloric acid.
Hydrochloric acid mixes with calcium chloride to produce calcium chloride salt and water. This reaction is a simple acid-base reaction where the hydrogen ions from the acid combine with the chloride ions from the calcium chloride to form salt.
Chloride is the conjugate base of hydrochloric acid (HCl), and is commonly found in salts such as sodium chloride (NaCl). In water, chloride ions can act as a weak base by accepting a proton (H+), but they are not considered a strong base like hydroxide ions.
The solution of nickel chloride is acidic.
its a salt
The anion from an acid is Cl- and the cation from a base is Na+.
ammonium on it's own is a base and chlorine is not an acid. so i think ammonium chloride is a base.
Sodium chloride is neutral.
Calcium chloride solution is neutral.
Hydrochloric acid is an acid.
Nope, sodium chloride is not an acid. It is more of a base due to its pH of 6.7 to 7.3 causing it to be a neutral/base. Also, it is ingested by humans, so lets hope its not a base!
no its boobs 23
Neither, it is a neutral salt (conjugated with the strong acid HCl)
Strongly acidic
