Identifying a neutral salt
What makes LiClO4 a neutral salt? Is it jus because it is made of a strong base and string acid. Is there anything else to identify them?

Re: Identifying a neutral salt
Yes, you are exactly right! A neutral salt is one that contains the conjugate base of a strong acid and a conjugate acid of a strong base therefore making the salt neutral in solution.

Re: Identifying a neutral salt
Yes, you are right. A neutral salt has a cation that is the conjugate of a strong base and an anion that is the conjugate of a strong acid.

Re: Identifying a neutral salt
LiOH and HClO4 are strong bases and strong acids, respectively. Thus, when they dissociate into Li+ and Cl- ions they cannot reform into their form as a strong or base. This means that these ions cannot change the pH and thus LiCLO4 is considered a neutral salt.

That is right. Since the salt is made of the conjugate acid to a strong base and the conjugate base to a strong acid, it is neutral.
