Types of Salt
Salt are produce by the Neutralization reaction acid and base.
Based on types of acid and base used to form salt it can be classified into following types.
A. Neutral Salt:
Strong acid and strong base:
When a strong acid react with strong base to form salt and water . This reaction also known as Neutralization reaction.
Strong Acid + strong Base —-> Salt + Water
NaOH + HCl —-> NaCl + H2 O
B. Acidic Salt:
Strong acid and weak base:
When a strong acid and weak base react with each other to form acidic salt and water.
Strong Acid + Weak Base —-> Acidic Salt + Water
HCl + NH4 OH —-> NH4Cl + H2O
C. Basic Salt:
Weak acid and Strong base:
When weak acid react with strong base to form basic salt and water.
Weak Acid + strong Base —–> Basic Salt + Water
CH3COOH + NaOH —–> CH3COONa + H2O
Acetic acid sodium Hydroxide —–> .Sodium acetate water
