Answer:

It will result in formation of an electrolytic solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

When a salt is dissolved in water, it undergoes hydrolysis to furnish ions and it results in formation of ionic solution or electrolytic solution.

For example :

NaCl will give sodium ion and chloride ion.

The salts are either of both strong acid and base or a weak acid and / or weak base.

The salts of weak acid / strong base or weak acid/ weak base or strong acid/ weak base furnish ions which further undergo hydrolysis and makes the solution either acid or basic, based on nature of conjugate ions formed.
