why does salt nutralize the acid?
Because salt is a base(alkaline).

no, it's NOT. Salt is a salt...the product of an acid-base neutralization.

Look.
HCl (a strong acid) +
NaOH (a strong base) =
NaCl (table salt) + water.

Granted,that reaction usually goes to completion, so the concentration of salt has little to do with equilibrium, but surely you see that the only way salt can affect acidity is to increase it by driving the equilibrium backwards.

Yup, NaCl is neutral. Na comes from a strong base and Cl comes from a strong acid so these ions are neutral.

so my question still hasnt been answered then?

How does dipping fresh pineapple in salt neutralize the acid?

Interesting, yeah.

I could get into chemistry, it's always been interesting to me.
 
Pineapple contains estrogen.

It's morphing you into a girl . . .

Are you starting to feel a compulsion to talk? Urge to buy things? Yup.
