The combination of the cation of a base and the anion of an acid forms a compound called a salt. This is the result of an acid-base reaction in chemistry. For example, hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide react to form the salt sodium chloride and water.

Is salt an ionic compound composed of an anion from an acid?
Yes salt is formed from ionic bonding of a cation and an anion.
How can you identify an acid and a base from their chemical formulas?
A base contain the anion (OH)- and an acid contain the cation H+.
What are most salts made from?
Salts contain a cation (metal or ammonium) and an anion derived from an acid.
What is the compound that is classified as a salt?
An ionic compojund made up of the cation from a base and the anion from an acid qualifies a compound as a salt.
Why distilled water can use to dilute acetic acid while the acetic acid is an organic acid?
Acetic Acid: CH3COOH tells us the strucuture.http://z.about.com/d/chemistry/1/0/f/m/aceticacid.jpgAs CH3 is separate from the Carboxide polyatomic anion ( [COOH]- ) it is going to remain unchanged. As we know that COOH has disassociation of an H in water, to form [H3O]++[COO]-. H3O is an acid according to the Lewis, the Arrhenius, and the Bronsted Theories. Therefore, as an acid ionizes in water (to form a cation in aqueous solution and an anion in aqueous solution) it does not matter that acetic acid is organic, because it dilutes all the same.Rule of thumb: ALL acids ionize in water to form (coefficient)[Cation]X1+(aq)+(coefficient)[Anion]X2-(aq).
Is sulphuric acid a salt?
No, it is not a salt. For example: ACID = H-(anion) BASE = (cation)-OH A salt is obtained from a reaction between an ACID and a BASE: ACID + BASE -> (anion)(cation) + H-OH (anion)(cation) is a salt, a ionic compound An acid is a covalent compound

Why does a salt containing a cation from a strong base and an anion from a weak acid form a basic solution?
The cation of a strong base removes a proton from to make a basic solution.The anion of a weak acid removes a proton from to make a basic solution.Water removes a cation from salt to make a basic solution. Which is the correct answer??
What are most salts made from?
Salts contain a cation (metal or ammonium) and an anion derived from an acid.
What is phosphoric acid and oxalic acid?

Why is zncl2 a salt?
Type of Radicals: Acid radicals: The acid radical is an anion left after removal of hydrogen atoms from an acid. Basic radicals: The basic radical is the cation left after removal of other alkaline group from the bases.
What salt is made when any carbonate reacts with hydrochlic acid?
The products of the reaction are water, carbon dioxide and a salt (the anion is from the acid, the cation fro the salt).
