dear sir, in chem practicals [salt analysis] how many types of salt we have? & can u name all the salt.

i hope u 'll help me .plz

thank u

Salt is formed when cation of base and anion of acid combine together. Generally the salts do not change colour of litmus. e.g. NaCl is called common salt used in food.

Every salt is formed by combination of cations and anion.

In salt analysis we have to perform various tests to identify these cations and anions.

There can a large number of possible salts some of those are..

NaCl,KCl,KBr,NaBr, AlCl₃,MgSO₄,MgCl₂,MgF₂,BaCl₃,PbSO₄ etc..

Here 

NaCl has Na⁺ cation and Cl^- anion

KCl has K+ cation and Cl- anion.

KBr has  K⁺ cation and Cl^- anion.

NaBr has Na⁺ cation and Br^- anion.

AlCl₃,  has Al³⁺ cation and  three Cl^- ion.

MgSO₄, has Mg²⁺ cation and SO₄^2- anion

MgCl₂,  has Mg²⁺ cation and two Cl^- anion

MgF₂,  has Mg²⁺ cation and two F^- anion

BaCl₃, has Ba³⁺ cation and three Cl^- anion

PbSO₄ has Pb²⁺ cation and SO₄^2- anion
