Salts
What is Salt?
No, not your basic table salt. Salts are neutral compounds that form as a result of neutralization.
Different salts are created from different reactions. The family of salt that forms depends on the type of acid being used. Look below for some examples:

Types of Salts:
When using carbonic acid, carbonates are formed H2CO3 + NaOH = Carbonates + H2O |
When using nitric acid, nitrates are formed NO3 + NaOH = Nitrates + H2O |
When using sulfuric acid, sulfates are formed SO4 + NaOH = Sulfates + H2O |
When using hydrochloric acid, chlorides are formed HCl + NaOH = Chlorides + H2O |
