Acidic, Basic, Neutral Salts

[Marin_Rice_2D]

When determining if a salt is acidic, basic, or neutral do you take into account how many atoms of each there are? For example, if you have K3PO4, it is K+ (neutral) and PO4- (basic) does the the fact that there is 3 K affect if the salt is basic, acidic, or neutral?

[Nicholas Ryan 2K]

No, the number of ions does not affect whether or not a salt is acidic or basic (whether the pH is above or below 7). It can affect the pH to make it more acidic or basic.
