Question

If the neutral solution was boiled to dryness, what would be the formula of the resulting salt.

Answer 1

Answer:

Forumula

XOH + HY = XY + H2O

Explanation:

Salt formed from: Salt Solution

Strong acid + Strong base Neutral

Strong acid + Weak base Acidic

Weak acid + Strong base Basic

Neutral solution example

NaCl = Sodium chloride

HCl = H+ and Cl-

NaOH = Na+ and OH-

OH- = Strong Base

H+ = Strong Acid

Sodium chloride, formed from neutralization of HCl by NaOH.

NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O

NaCl in water is not acidic or basic, since it's ions cannot hydrolyze.

So formula would be XOH + YH = XY + H2O
