They often contain the anion of a halogen and the cation of an alkali metal.
The Mannheim process synthesizes one of these compounds containing sulfate, known as a "cake" of this class. The "effect" named for this class of compounds describes how their interionic interactions affect the ionization of related weak electrolytes. The solubility of these compounds can be calculated by the solubility product constant, while the pH of solutions of them is governed by the strengths of the two reactants which create them. They often contain the anion of a halogen and the cation of an alkali metal. For 10 points, name this class of ionic compound, the product of an acid-base neutralization, exemplified by magnesium bromide and sodium chloride.
