State the difference between neutral, acidic and basic salts. Give one example of each.
Given below is the difference between Acidic, Basic and Neutral Salt.
| Basic Salt | Acidic Salt | Neutral Salt |
Salts that produce hydroxide ions when dissolved in water are called Basic salts. These are produced by the reaction of a strong base and weak acid. The pH is greater than 7. Example: Na2CO3 is a basic salt. | Salts that produce H+ ions when dissolved in water making it acidic solutions are Acidic salts. These are produced by the reaction of strong acid and weak base. The pH is less than 7. Example: NH4Cl is an Acidic Salt. | Neutral salts are those salts that are neither acidic nor basic in nature. These are produced by the reaction of a strong base and strong acid. The pH is equal to 7, Hence they are neutral in nature. Example: NaCl is a neutral salt. |
