Practice Salt in Chemistry
Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.
Quick Recap
In chemistry, a salt is an ionic compound made of cations and anions, often formed when an acid reacts with a base in a neutralization.
A salt is the ionic compound left over after the acid-base part of a reaction has made water.
