| Compound made by hydrogen substitution by a metal in an acid; in an other way, it results from acid and base union in good proportions. In mud terminology, the term salt is applied to sodium chloride, NaCl. Salts are formed by the action of acids on metals, or oxides and hyroxides, directly with ammonia, and in other ways. |
