It doesn't react in the sense that you're asking for - there isn't a formula to define it because the salt doesn't truly react unless electricity is applied. It dissolves and saturates the water without breaking/forming any chemical bonds. Therefore, it's more or less just:
NaCl(s) + H20(l) → NaCl(aq) + H20(l)
The abbreviations in parentheses are a notation that you may not have come across yet, but they signify the states of matter - (s) for solid, (l) for liquid, and (aq) for aqueous or suspended in a water solution.
When salt is combined with water, a chemical reaction called dissolution occurs. This reaction involves the breaking of the ionic bonds in the salt crystals, causing the salt molecules to separate and disperse evenly throughout the water, creating a saltwater solution.
When Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) is dissolved in water, it dissociates into magnesium ions (Mg2+) and sulfate ions (SO4 2-). This dissociation process is a physical change, not a chemical reaction, as the chemical composition of Epsom salt remains the same.
(aq) It means aqueous. Example: NaCl(aq)
When you add a base to an acid, they undergo a neutralization reaction to form water and a salt. The general chemical formula for this reaction is: acid + base → salt + water
The reaction between hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide is a chemical reaction that forms water and potassium chloride salt. It is an exothermic reaction, meaning that heat is released as a result of the reaction.
Salt is dissolved and dissociated in water.
Adding salt to water is not a chemical reaction, nor is it a chemical change. When salt dissolves in water, this is an example of a physical change. Although the sodium and chlorine ions separate in the water, no chemical reaction takes place.
Dissolving salt in water is a physical change- no chemical reaction took place. If the water evaporates, the salt is still there.
The reaction of an acid plus a base yields SALT ( and water too)

Water and base
No. Salt and water becomes a solution, not a new compound.
A salt is a type of chemical compound, not a reaction.
When salt is mixed in with water, they form a solution. Salt is the solute, and water is the solvent.
