-A salt is a substance that contains a cation which is a metal ion or an ammonium ion and an anion derived from an acid. It is an ionic compound that can be formed by the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base.
-For example; a reaction between a soluble base sodium hydroxide and an acid dilute sulfuric acid results to the formation of salt sodium salt. There are also other methods of generating a cell apart from neutralization, such as precipitation reactions and direct synthesis among others,
Neutralization is is reaction in which an acid (in this example vinegar or acetic acid CH₃COOH) and a base (in this example soda or some other base) react quantitatively with each other.
