Salts as Acids and Bases

[Samin Kabir]

How would you determine whether a salt is an acid or a base?

[Sahiti Annadata 3D]

A salt is neither a base or acid but is rather the product of a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base.

[Nicole Bruno Dis 1B]

The following link is a great resource and describes some guiding principles in determining if salt solutions are acidic or basic:

Salts are formed through a neutralization process and can be neutral, basic, or acidic depending on if the reactants are strong or weak acid and bases. Salts are neutral when formed through neutralization of a strong base and strong acid, are acidic when formed through neutralization of a strong acid and weak base, and are basic when formed through neutralization of a weak acid and strong base.
