Salt water is neutral.
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
Salt water is considered neutral, with a pH of around 7. The presence of salt in water does not make it inherently acidic or basic.
It is an acidic salt because it is a salt of weak base and strong acid
Ammonium Chloride is a salt.It is an acidic salt.
A salt that forms a solution with a pH less than 7 when dissolved in water is an acidic salt. This happens when the cation in the salt is weakly acidic or neutral, and the anion is a weak base, resulting in the solution being slightly acidic.
No, a strong acid and a weak base will not produce a neutral salt. Instead, the resulting salt will be acidic because the anion from the weak base does not fully neutralize the strong acid. This typically leads to a solution that is acidic when the salt is dissolved in water.
Ammonium chloride is an acidic salt because it is formed by the reaction of ammonia, a weak base, with hydrochloric acid, a strong acid. In water, the salt dissociates to form ammonium ions and chloride ions, which can react with water to produce acid.
The positive ions in salt come from the base, not the acid. When an acid and a base react to form salt, the acid donates a proton to the base, forming the salt and water.
Salt water is neutral.
A solution with a pH of 5 would react with a base to form a salt. The base would neutralize the acidic solution, resulting in the formation of a salt and water.
When you mix an acid with a base, you get water and a salt. This reaction is known as neutralization, where the acidic hydrogen ions (H+) from the acid react with the hydroxide ions (OH-) from the base to form water. The remaining components combine to form a salt.
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.
