Salts can be formed by neutralising acids with carbonates, bases and alkalis
From carbonates: Acid + carbonate → Salt + Carbon Dioxide + Water
Example; 2HCl + CaCO₃ → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂
From bases: Acid + Bases → Salt + Water
Example; 2HCl + CaO → CaCl₂ + H₂O
From Alkalis: Acid + Alkalis→ Salt + Water
HCL + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O
Salts can be also formed from metals
Metal + Acids → Salt + hydrogen gas
Example; Mg + 2HCL → MgCl₂ + H₂
