Give some examples of acid salts,normal salts and basic salts with their equations.

An acid salt is a salt formed by the partial replacement of replaceable hydrogen ions of an acid by a basic radical. Example include KHSO4, NaHSO4, Ca(HSO4)2 etc. 

The acid salt can further react with alkalis to form normal salts. For example

 NaHSO4 + NaOH → Na2SO4 + H2O

The formation of the above salt can be shown as follows

 NaOH + H2SO4 → NaHSO4 + H2O

A basic salt is a salt formed by the partial replacement of hydroxyl radical of a diacidic or a triacidic base with an acid radical. Examples include [Cu(OH)NO3], [Pb(OH)NO3]. Basic salt can react with acids to form normal salts. For example

 Cu(OH)Cl + HCl → CuCl2 + H2O

Normal salts are the salts formed by complete replacement of replaceable hydrogen ions of an acid, by a basic radical. Examples include K2SO4, CaSO4, KCl etc. 

 2KOH + H2SO4 → K2SO4 + 2H2O
