| Summary: | Salt, is a compound, plays a role Salts are formed through a chemical reaction between an acid and a base. This reaction is called neutralization. The chemical name of a salt typically consists of the name of the cation (from the base) followed by the name of the anion (from the acid). Here's a general way to derive the chemical name of a salt:Identify the cation and anion:The cation is the positively charged ion, which comes from the base in the reaction.The anion is the negatively charged ion, which comes from the acid in the reaction.Write the name of the cation first, followed by the name of the anion. For example:Sodium (Na+) from sodium hydroxide (NaOH) combines with chloride (Cl-) from hydrochloric acid (HCl) to form sodium chloride (NaCl).Make sure to balance the charges. For example, calcium (Ca2+) from calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) combines with carbonate (CO3^2-) from carbonic acid (H2CO3) to form calcium carbonate (CaCO3).in various aspects of human life. Its chemical names, sodium chloride and ... |
