Neither. It's neutral. It's the product of a strong acid and a strong base.

∙ 13y agoNo, or perhaps more accurately "not necessarily." Some salts are acidic, some salts are basic, and some salts are neutral. Without knowing which specific salt you mean, it's impossible to tell. (A mixture of sodium chloride and water is essentially neutral.)
Seawater is usually slightly basic (around pH 8, plus or minus half a unit).

∙ 9y agoSalt water is basic because it has a pH level of 7.8 to 8.2. If salt water was an acid, it would have a pH level between 0 and 6.

Does sea water have acid in?
bases
Is sea water an acid or a base?
it is neutral it has a pH of 7
Is sea water a base of acid?
No, rather the opposite, it is slightly basic.
Do sea shells react with hydrochloric acid?
Yes, sea shells are made mostly of calcium carbonate, which will react with hydrochloride acid to produce water, carbon dioxide, and calcium chloride. CaCO3 + 2HCl --> H2O + CO2 + CaCl2
Acid is correctly diluted with water by this method?
Never add water to acid. Think "rootbeer" A&W. Acid into Water.
Does sea water contain acid?
No
Does sea water have acid in?
bases
Does sea water dissolve sulphuric acid?
yes
Is sea water acid or alkalis or neutral?
neutral.
Is sea water an acid or a base?

Is sea water a base of acid?
No, rather the opposite, it is slightly basic.
Ph level of some common substance?
hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, tomatoes, rain water, pure water, sea water, ammonium chloride, and sodium hydroxide
5 liquids which are denser than water?
Sea water, Sulphuric Acid 95%onc., Phosgene, Phenol, & Milk.
Does acid and alkali equal salt water?
Sea water is in fact basic. This results from the various salts dissolved in the water. Although one would expect sea water to be acidic (carbon dioxide from the air dissolves in water to form carbonic acid), limestone deposits help to keep the ocean basic.
Do sea shells react with hydrochloric acid?
Yes, sea shells are made mostly of calcium carbonate, which will react with hydrochloride acid to produce water, carbon dioxide, and calcium chloride. CaCO3 + 2HCl --> H2O + CO2 + CaCl2
