Question

A compound formed in solution from the negative ion of an acid and the positive ion of a base is a _____.

A. SALT
B. SOAP
C. GLYCERIN
D. DETERGENT

Answer 1

SALT.

Step-by-step explanation:

That is a salt.

For example if we react sodium oxide with hydrochloric acid:

Na+ + Cl- ---> NaCl.

Answer 2

Answer: SALT

Explanation:-

Neutralization is a chemical reaction in which an acid and a base reacts to form salt and water. Salt is formed when cations or positive ions of base combine with anions or negative ions of acid.

According to Arrhenius concept, a base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions
`(OH^-)` when dissolved in water and an acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ions
`H^+` in water.

Example:
`HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O`

Here
`NaCl` is the salt formed by combination of
`Cl^-` ions from the acid
`HCl` and
`Na^+` ions from base.
