What is an Insoluble Salt (Precipitate)?Insoluble salts are ionic compounds that are insoluble in water: the salt continues to exist as a solid rather than dissolving in the liquid. On the atomic scale, the ionic lattice of an insoluble salt remains intact; the ionic lattice does not break ...
Salt is an electrovalent or ionic compound formed by the partial or complete replacement of the replaceable (ionisable) hydrogen atoms (i.e.,H+ ions) of an acid by a metallic ion or ammonium ion. All salts are ionic in nature and strong electrolytes, i.e. they ionise completely on ...
An example of a pure substance would be table salt (NaCl). It is a compound that is made up of one sodium atom and one chlorine atom. It also has a uniform structure. What is a pure substance in chemistry? A pure substance is made up of one type of element or one type of compoun...

Salt – An Introduction In chemistry, a byproduct of salt is created when an acid and a base react. A salt is made up of the negative ion (anion) of an acid and the positive ion (cation) of a base. A neutralisation reaction occurs when an acid and a base interact. Salt is also ...
