Question

Explain the three classification of salts?​

Answer 1

THERE ARE 3 TYPES OF SALTS

1. Neutral salt or neutral salt which is formed by the reaction of strong acid with strong base .

2. Normal salt which produce one simple cation and one simple and anion.

3.Basic salt when a polyacidic base is not completely ionised by an acid.

Answer 2

Answer: On the basis of chemical formulae salts are classified into three type.

1. NEUTRAL SALTS

A neutral salt is a salt which is formed by the reaction of a strong acid with strong base. It does not contain any ionisable hydrogen atom or hydroxyl group. This means that it has been formed by the complete neutralization of an acid by a base.

For example:

Sodium Chloride --> NaCl
Potassium Chloride --> KCl

2. ACIDIC SALTS

An acidic salt is a salt which is formed by the reaction of a strong acid with weak base. It contains some replaceable hydrogen atoms. This means that the neutralization of acid by the base is not complete.

For example:

Sodium Bicarbonate --> NaHCO3
Sodium Bisulphate --> NaHSO4

3. BASIC SALTS

A basic salt is a salt which is formed by the reaction of a weak acid with strong base. It contains some replaceable hydroxyl groups. This means that the neutralization of base by the acid is not complete.

For example:

Sodium Acetate --> CH3COONa
Potassium Acetate --> CH3COOK
