Question

what is salt......................................?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Answer 1

‘Salt’ is the generic name we use to describe any substance produced by the reaction of an acid with a base – a process known as a neutralisation reaction. All these salts share some characteristics: their ionic bonds, their relatively high melting points, their electrical conductivity when melted or in solution and their crystalline structure as a solid.

Answer 2

$\huge\star{\red{\underline{\mathfrak{Answer}}}}$

⚡A salt se compound form from an acid by the replacement of the hydrogen in the acid by metals .

⚡Salt is also formed when acids react with bases .

⚡Characterstics of salt are:

➡Salts are mostly solids .

➡They have high melting and boiling point .

➡Salts are usually soluble in water.

➡Just like acids and bases solution of salt in water conduct electricity.

➡Salts are ionic compounds consisting of cations and anions.

THE PH OF SALTS:-

〽Though the Aqueous solutions of many cells are neutral but some salt produced an acidic or basic in nature when dissolved in water.

〽The salts of strong acid and strong base gives neutral salt.

〽The salt of strong acid and weak base gives acidic solution of salt.

〽The salt of weak acid and strong base gives basic solution of salt.

〽The salt of weak acid and weak base gives neutral salt.
