Solid potassium chloride is a salt.
Dissolved in water, it forms a neither basic nor acidic solution, as both potassium and chloride ions are spectators.

Is KCl acid or base or salt?
KCl is neither an acid or base but a neutral salt.
KCl acid or base?
neither, it's a salt
Is KCl an acid?
Yes, KCl is potassium chloride and it is indeed a form of salt.
Is chloride an acid or base?
It depends on which chloride is being talked about. For example - hydrogen chloride(HCl) is an acid! However, potassium chloride(KCl) is a salt.
Is KCI a base or an acid?
You probably mean KCl, potassium chloride, which is a salt and therefore neither a base nor an acid, but as typed, you are enquiring about potassium carbon iodide, which is a non-existent compound.
Is kcl base or acid?
KCl is neither an acid or base but a neutral salt.
Is KCl acid or base or salt?
KCl is neither an acid or base but a neutral salt.
KCl acid or base?
neither, it's a salt
What makes KCl a salt and why?
A salt is the product of the reaction between a base and an acid; potassium chloride may be obtained from HCl and KOH: HCl + KOH = KCl + H2O
Is KCl an acid?
Yes, KCl is potassium chloride and it is indeed a form of salt.
What combination of acid and base can me used to make the salt potassium chloride?
The reaction is:KOH + HCl = KCl + H2O
Is chloride an acid or base?
It depends on which chloride is being talked about. For example - hydrogen chloride(HCl) is an acid! However, potassium chloride(KCl) is a salt.
Is kcl a acid or normal salt?
Potassium chloride is a neutral salt.
Is KCI a base or an acid?
You probably mean KCl, potassium chloride, which is a salt and therefore neither a base nor an acid, but as typed, you are enquiring about potassium carbon iodide, which is a non-existent compound.
What combination of acid and base can be used to make the salt potassium chloride kci?
HCL (hydrochloric acid) and KOH (Potassium hydroxide)HCL + KOH = KCL + H2Oso you need hydrochloric acid and potassium hydroxide.
What is the compound formula for potassium and chlorine?
Potassium Chloride (KCl) is an ionic salt of a weak acid and a weak base.
What acid reacts with KOH to produce to salt KCI?
Hydrochloric acid will... HCl + KOH = KCl + H2O
