Question 1 • Foothill-B Period-Chemistry-26/27B

Which of these descriptions are properties of salts? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
are formed by the reaction of two acids
B
are covalent bonds
C
dissociate in water
D
are electrolytes
E
have low conductivity
F
are a product of a neutralizing reaction

Explanation

Salts are typically ionic compounds formed when an acid reacts with a base in a neutralization reaction, so they are products of neutralization. Many salts dissociate into ions when dissolved in water; those ions allow the solution to conduct electricity, making it an electrolyte. Thus, salts are not covalent bonds and do not have low conductivity in solution.
