Question
Give the names and formulae of any two salts. Also name the acids and bases from which these salt may be obtained.
Solution
The names and formulae of two salts are sodium chloride, NaCl, and ammonium chloride, NH4Cl, respectively. Sodium chloride salt (NaCl) is formed from an acid, hydrochloric acid (HCl), and a base (NaOH). Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) is formed from an acid, hydrochloric acid (HCl), and a base, ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH).
