how to determine whether a salt is acidic, basic, slightly alkaline or strongly basic?

Question

photon336 · Answer

well, I guess it would depend on the strength of the acid or base that produced it. 

$$Acid + Base \rightarrow Salt + Water $$

$$Strong~Acid + Strong~Base \rightarrow Neutral~Salt + Water$$

Yeah i agree with you @Photon336  
That depends on the strength of the acid or the base used to produce the salt.
These are the possible types

1) Strong acid + Strong base -----> Neutral salt + water 
Neutral salt because both the base and the acid are strong 

*In other cases the salt takes the characteristics of the strong member out of the two  

2) STrong acid + weak base -> Acidic salt
3) Weak acid + Strong base ----> Basic salt
