Even though, both double and complex salts contain two metal ions and may be large salts with have many anions attached to them. They differ in one basic way, when dissolved double salts break down to give it constituent ions, whereas complex salts does not break down in the same manner. Rather when dissolved complex salts give the cation and a complex ion. Also, when double salts are tested for presence of their constituent ions, for example KClMgCl.6H2O when tested for presence of K, will give a positive result, whereas a complex ion would not.

Not all salts have sodium in them. So a salinity hazard could mean different salts.


How does the relationship between salts and ions demonstrate that while all salts are ions, not all ions are salts?

The relationship between salts and ions shows that while all salts are made up of ions, not all ions form salts. Salts are compounds made of positively and negatively charged ions that are held together by ionic bonds. However, some ions exist independently and do not combine with other ions to form salts. This distinction highlights the difference between salts, which are specific compounds, and ions, which are individual charged particles.

What is the difference between Amantadine and Amantadine hydrochloride?

Actually they are the same substance. A chloride ion is introduced to amantadine to become amantadine hydrochloride. This will be helpful to increase the solubility of amantadine. Most drugs are absorbed faster by the body if they are salts, especially hydrochloride salts and sulfate salts
