Question

what do you mean by salt ? why is the nature of salt not always neutral ?

Answer 1

salts r the products of reaction of acid and bases

Answer 2

Sodium chloride also known as salt or halite, is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl, representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chloride ions. With molar masses of 22.99 and 35.45 g·mol−1, respectively, 100 g of NaCl contain 39.34 g Na and 60.66 g Cl. Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for the salinity of seawater and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular organisms. In the form of edible or table salt it is commonly used as a condiment and food preservative. Large quantities of sodium chloride are used in many industrial processes, and it is a major source of sodium and chlorine compounds used as feedstocks for further chemical syntheses.

The process of neutralization does not produce the resulting solution always neutral; no doubt it involves the interaction of H+ and OH- ions. The nature of the resulting solution depends on the particular acid and a particular base involved in the reaction.Regards..
