Question
____ salt is produced when hydrogen atoms from the acid are replaced by atoms of a metal that came from the base.
answer options:
select one of four
basic
normal
mixed
acidic
In acid - base reactions, a normal salt is formed when all the replaceable hydrogen atoms of the acid are replaced by metal atoms (or ammonium ions) from the base. Basic salts are formed when there are still replaceable hydroxide ions from the base, acidic salts have replaceable hydrogen atoms remaining in the salt, and mixed salts have two different types of cations or anions. So based on the definition given (hydrogen atoms from acid replaced by metal atoms from base, implying all replaceable hydrogens are replaced), the correct term is "Normal".
