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.

Is NaCl a acid or base?
It is neither a base nor an acid but a salt.It is the common salt we take with our meal.
Is common salt solution is acid base or neutral?
It is neutral
Is common salt solution acid base or neutral?
It is neutral
Is salt an acid or an base?
If you mean common table salt (sodium chloride), then neither. Sodium chloride is neutral.
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.

Is Salt formed when an acid or a base react chemically?
Salt is formed when an acid and a base react chemically through a neutralization reaction. The hydrogen ions from the acid combine with the hydroxide ions from the base to form water, while the remaining ions from the acid and base combine to form the salt.
How does salt neutralise?
Salt neutralizes by dissociating into ions in water, specifically into sodium and chloride ions. These ions interact with other ions present in the solution, effectively reducing their ability to create acidic or basic environments. This neutralization occurs as ions combine to form molecules that are electrically balanced.
What forms when base react with acid they form salt and what?
acid+ base= salt + water
What is the general form for the simplest type of acid base reaction?
Acid + base salt + water
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 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
