To determine which substances among the options will make a salt when combined, we need to consider what constitutes a salt. A salt is typically formed from the neutralization reaction between an acid and a base.
Let's analyze the options:
-
Fertilizer and detergent: These do not typically react to form a salt.
-
Vinegar and antacids: Vinegar is acetic acid, and antacids usually contain basic substances (like magnesium hydroxide or calcium carbonate). When combined, they can undergo a neutralization reaction, potentially producing a salt along with water and sometimes carbon dioxide, depending on the antacid used.
-
Soap and ammonia: Soap is typically a fatty acid salt, and ammonia is a base. They do not react to form a traditional salt in a neutralization sense.
-
Soda and wine: Soda is a carbonated drink that usually contains acids (like citric acid) and sugars, while wine contains various acids as well. Mixing these does not produce a salt in the traditional sense.
Based on this analysis, the best choice is Vinegar and antacids, as this combination can lead to the formation of a salt as a result of an acid-base reaction.
