The document is a 10 question pretest about salts. It asks students to identify examples of salts used in daily life, which salt is used as a fertilizer, and which salt can neutralize excess stomach acid. It also asks students to identify the acid used to make ammonium chloride, the salt formed from sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid, chemical equations that represent neutralization, reactions that can produce potassium sulfate, true statements about salts, the type of salts formed from ethanoic acid, and the definition of a salt.
