Salts are ionic compounds formed from the neutralization reaction between an acid and a base. They are widely used in various industrial, agricultural, and laboratory applications. The process of preparing salts involves different methods, each suited to the specific type of salt being produced.
Neutralization Reaction:
Example:
HCl (aq)+NaOH (aq)→NaCl (aq)+H2O (l)\text{HCl (aq)} + \text{NaOH (aq)} \rightarrow \text{NaCl (aq)} + \text{H}_2\text{O (l)} HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) → NaCl (aq) + H 2 O (l)
Here, hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to form sodium chloride (NaCl) and water.
