Question

Are these bases? CaSO4 + H2O? & CaCl2 + H2O? If yes which of these are?

Answer 1

caso4 and cacl2 r salts

h2o ie water a neutralizing agent.

but when water reacts with these 2 salts it form a base and an acid.

like

caso4 + 2h2o  =  ca(oh)2   +   h2so4.

(salt)     (water)     (base)          (acid)

cacl2 + h2o       =      ca(oh)2    +    hcl.

(salt)    (water)           (base)          (acid)

so thats it.................................

Answer 2

water is very neutralizing

Answer 3

no they are salts.  and water is neutral it just causes the salt to ionize.

shradhs you have the reaction the wrong way arround, its acid + base --> salt + water
