Best Answer

A salt is generally an ionic compound which will dissociate when put into water creating cations and anions. Salts can be neutral or tend toward acidic or basic states, depending on the particular salt. Recall that a salt is generally the product (along with water) of an acid-base reaction.

Is salt and water a solution or a mixture?

Salt goes into solution in water. That makes a salt and water solution of salt water, unless there is too much salt to completely dissolve in the water. In that case, it will be a mixture of salt and salt water.Saltwater is technically both a solution and a mixture, since all solutions are mixtures, or physical rather than chemical combinations of substances. However, the more narrow use of the term "mixture" excludes both solutions and alloys.
