Acidic Basic And Neutral Salts. Acidic salts are formed when a strong acid reacts with a weak base. Therefore we can categorize a salt into three groups as acidic salts basic salts and neutral salts.
This chemistry video explains how to determine if an ionic compound or a salt is acidic basic or neutral. Basic salts are formed when a strong base reacts with a weak acid. Sodium chloride which is obtained by neutralization of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide is a neutral salt.
However in reality there are actually acidic basic salts as well as neutral salts.
Neutral salts are gener ally neutral to indicators. Sodium chloride which is obtained by neutralization of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide is a neutral salt. No all salts are not neutral. This chemistry video explains how to determine if an ionic compound or a salt is acidic basic or neutral.
