Question

Is calcium chloride an acidic salt???

Answer 1

Calcium Chloride = CaCl2

So to find out what acid and base were used, we react CaCl2 with water.

CaCl2 + 2H2O ---> Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl

So the acid is HCl and the base is Ca(Oh)2 and both are strong so both neutralises each other completely.

Hence, CaCl2 is a neutral salt. Neither Acidic nor Basic.

Answer 2

It neither ionizes to form hydrogen ions, nor does it dissociates to give hydroxide ions. Therefore, it is neither an acid nor a base.
