Question

In chemistry, what is the definition of the term salt? a compound consisting of an anion from an acid and a cation from a base a compound that ionizes in water to form a neutral solution a compound that receives hydrogen ions in an acid-base reaction a compound that donates hydrogen ions in an acid-base reaction

Answer 1

In chemistry, a salt is an ionic compound that can be formed by the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base.So yes it is

Answer 2

Answer: a compound consisting of an anion from an acid and a cation from a base

Explanation: Salt is the product of neutralization reaction which is formed when acid and base combines. The anion from the acid combines with cation from the base to form salt.

`HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O`

A compound that donates hydrogen ions in an acid-base reaction is called acid and a compound that receives hydrogen ions in an acid-base reaction is called base.
