Can anyone tell how we can identify which acids and bases reacts to form the given salts...??
And how do we classify if the salt is either acid or basic...?? Also how can we say if the the given acid or base is strong or weak...??

Answer:
In a typical acid base neutralization the salt is created by the positive ion from the base and the negative ion from the acid forming the salt and the hydrogen from the acid combining with the hydroxide from the base to form water.
HCL + NaOH ---> NaCl + H2O
The sodium from the sodium hydroxide and the chlorine from the hydrochloric acid for NaCl sodium chloride salt. The hydrogen from the hydrochloric acid and the hydroxide from the sodium hydroxide form HOH or water.
H2SO4+2KOH ---> K2SO4+2H2O
A solution with a pH of 7 is classified as neutral. If the pH is lower than 7, the solution is acidic. When pH is higher than 7, the solution is basic. These numbers describe the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and increase on a negative logarithmic scale.
Whether acids are strong or weak is determined by how readily they dissociate to form ions. In water, acids dissolve to form hydrogen ions, while bases form hydroxide ions. ... Weak acids and bases only partially dissociate, leaving fewer ions in solution.
