Common salt, table salt, sodium chloride, NaCl, whatever you call it is pretty much neutral in solution. This is because the double-replacement acid-base reaction that produces it has HCl and NaOH as reactants, and these are a strong acid and a strong base. Therefore, their "strength," which is a measure of their degree of ionization in solution, is about the same, and will cancel out.
It is neither a base nor an acid but a salt.It is the common salt we take with our meal.
It is neutral
It is neutral
If you mean common table salt (sodium chloride), then neither. Sodium chloride is neutral.

salt
when an acid and a base combine, salt and water are formed. This process of reaction of an acid and base is called neutralisation.
Here are the four general acid reactions. Acid + Base = Salr + Water Acid + Alkali = Salt + Water Acid + Metal = Salt + Hydrogen Acid + Carbonate = Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide. NB An Alkali is a soliuble base.
acid + base → salt + water
When an acid and a base react, they form water and a salt. This reaction is called neutralization, where the acid donates a proton (H+) to the base, forming water (H2O), and the remaining components of the acid and base form a salt.
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.
Acid + base salt + water
