What is an ionic compound formed from the positive ion of a base and the negative ion of an acid when they combine?

Answer 1

A salt. For example, the common table salt, sodium chloride (NaCl), is made up of the positive ion (sodium) from a strong base sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and the negative ion of a strong acid hydrochloric acid (HCl).

Answer 2

Any reaction between an acid and a base is called an acid-base neutralization reaction and produces a saltand water. Essentially, the respective elements swap partners. This most often occurs in an aqueoussolution (substances dissolved in water). This happens because Acids and Bases actually dissociate in water, forming ions in an aqueous solution. Ions are positively or negatively charged compounds or atoms. For example, one of the most common acids, Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) dissociates in water to H+ and Cl- ions surrounded by polar water molecules. In the same manner, a strong base such as Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) will dissociate almost completely in water to become Na+ and OH- ions. These dissociated ions then interact with each other and a neutralization reaction occurs, in which the H+ ions bond with OH- ions to form H2O (water) and the Na+ ions bond with Cl- ions to form NaCl (table salt). Of course, the salt produced depends on the atoms present in the respective compounds, so it won't always be table salt specifically, but it will always produce water. In chemistry a salt is simply a compound with a metal cation which is positively charged (such as Sodium, Lithium, or Potassium ion etc.) and an anion like Chloride that is negatively charged.

Answer 3

The compound you get is a salt. For example, when hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with sodium hydroxide, a base, (NaOH), you get water and sodium chloride (NaCl) which is table salt. Here's the equation:

HCl + NaOH --> H2O + NaCl. The sodium is the positive ion from the base and the chlorine is the negative ion from the acid. This is a type of double replacement scenario called an acid/base reaction.

Answer 4

When you combine a base and an acid, this process is called neutralisation, and this results with salt being made.

Answer 5

This is an ionic bond and is based on the electrostatic attraction between ions.

It would be a SALT

Answer 7

weak base

Answer 8

salt

Answer 9
