Depends on what kind of salt. If you're talking about sodium chloride (table salt,) then it's pretty much pH neutral because it is a product of HCl and NaOH reacting (both strong reactants in solution.)

Neutral. but by strict definition it has no pH because it doesn't contain Hydrogens

Is salt a neutral acid or alkali?

Table salt is neutral.


Is salt solution a acid alkali or neutral?

neutral


Is salt alkali or acid?

salt is an acid


How would you get a sample of salt from a neutral acid?

Adding an alkali to an acid solution would result in forming a salt. However, no acid solution can be neutral.


What is the reaction when you add acids and alkali's?

you create a neutral solution -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well it depends actually it doesn't always create a neutral solution. Here's the order: Strong Alkali + Strong Acid = Neutralisation (water + salt) Strong Alkali + Weak Acid = Weak Alkali Weak Alkali + Weak Acid = Neutralisation ( water + salt) Weak Alkali + Strong Acid = Weak Acid Strong Alkali + Strong Acid = Neutralisation (water + salt) Hope it helps! :)


What kind of salt is an alkali?

Alkali salts is also known as being a basic salt. Alkali salts are the result from the neutralization of a strong base and a weak acid. It is not a neutral salt.


Is a salt and water made when you mix an acid and an alkali?

When an acid and an alkali is combined, salt and water is formed, because the acid and the alkali neutralises each other to leave salt and water only.


What is the Equation for ant acid tablets?

This is kinda what you're hoping for I hope. Acid + alkali (tablet) = salt + water (neutral).


How would you produce a neutral salt solution from an acid and an alkali?

NaOH + HCl >> NaCl + H2O Table salt produced.


Is water an acid or alkali or neutral?

it is a neutral


What does mixing acid and alkali produce?

neutral if there is an even amount of both. Also, it produces salt and water.


What happens when you add an alkali to an alkali?

A chemical reaction. Acid + alkali = salt + water eg H2SO4 + 2NaOH = Na2SO4 + 2H2O Sulfuric acid + Sodium Hydroxide = Sodium Sulfate + water Whan as acid meets an alkali they create a chemical reaction. If there is an acid and you add a weak alkali you should bring it down to neutral.
