SCIENCE – REFLECTING ON THE IMPACTS OF ROAD SALTINGStatement of Inquiry: Predicting how matter behaves is useful in real life situations. In chemistry, salts are ionic compounds that result from the neutralization reaction of an acid and a base. They are composed of related numbers of cations (positively charged ions) and anions (negative ions) so that the product is electrically neutral (without a net charge). These component ions can be inorganic, such as chloride (Cl−), or organic, such as a
