Describe a salt as a substance formed when the hydrogen in an acid is replaced.
We know that an acid only shows its acidic properties when it has dissociated in water, if you add a base to this “acid” we know that water and a salt is formed. What this means is the lone H+ are now being used to form the H2O; they are being replaced into a new molecule that results in the formation of salt with the molecules not used to form water.
