Best Answer

1. Salts are products of a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base.

2. Ions are formed by dissociation of salts, bases, acids dissolved in water.

Examples:

- NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O

- NaCl----------Na+ + Cl-

Is Salts made of a metal and a nonmetal?

Salts are made of metal ions and nonmetal ions.


How are salts and ions related?

Salts contain cations and anions.


What is the difference between a salt and a electrolyte?

Salt is a compound composed of a metal and a non-metal that dissociates into ions when dissolved in water. Electrolytes are substances that form ions in solution and can conduct electricity. While salts are a type of electrolyte, not all electrolytes are salts. Electrolytes can include acids, bases, and salts.


What happens when salts are dissolved in water?

Ionic salts are dissociated in ions.


Why are salts ionic?

They are composed of ions.


Why aren't all electrolytes salts?

Because not only salts can be dissociated in ions.


Are mineral salts composed of ions?

Yes, salts contain an anion and a cation.


A salt will dissolve in water to form a. ions b. bases c. gases d. bases e. polar solvents?

Salts are dissolved in water when you need to prepare a solution.


Difference between Double salt and Complex salts?

Even though, both double and complex salts contain two metal ions and may be large salts with have many anions attached to them. They differ in one basic way, when dissolved double salts break down to give it constituent ions, whereas complex salts does not break down in the same manner. Rather when dissolved complex salts give the cation and a complex ion. Also, when double salts are tested for presence of their constituent ions, for example KClMgCl.6H2O when tested for presence of K, will give a positive result, whereas a complex ion would not.


Are all salts elements?

No, salts are not elements. Salts are ionic compounds composed of positively charged ions (cations) and negatively charged ions (anions) that are held together by electrostatic forces. These ions can be composed of different elements from the periodic table.


When salts are dissolved in water they .?

separate into ions.
