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 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.
Is kcl base or acid?
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 kcl a acid or normal salt?
Potassium chloride is a neutral salt.
Is KCl a acid or base or salt?
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.
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
