Solution

Acidic Salt: Ammonium chloride is an acidic salt as it is formed by the neutralisation reaction of a strong acid and a weak base.

$N H_{4} O H (s) + H C l (a q) \to N H_{4} C l (s) + H_{2} O (l)$

Basic salt: Sodium acetate is a basic salt as it is formed by the neutralisation reaction of a weak acid and a strong base.

$C H_{3} C O O H (s) + N a O H (a q) \to C H_{3} C O O N a (s) + H_{2} O (l)$

Neutral salt: Potassium chloride is a neutral salt as it is formed by the neutralisation reaction of a strong acid and a strong base.

$K O H (s) + H C l (a q) \to K C l (s) + H_{2} O (l)$
