CaCl₂ is a basic salt.
Think about the same query for NaCl, a substance that most chemistry students are familiar with. A salt is always produced when an acid and a base combine, and this is how you make NaCl. NaOH is a basic, while HCl is an acid.
NaCl + H2O NaOH + HCl
Additionally, the salt will be neutral since the utilized bases (NaOH) and acids (HCl) are both strong acids and bases, respectively (if any or both are weak, then things change).
Ca(OH)2 can be used in place of NaOH when reacting with HCl.
Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl becomes CaCl2 + 2H2O.
CaCl2 is therefore neither an acid nor a base, by comparison thus, neutral salt alone.
What are neutral salts?
Strong acids and strong bases combine to generate neutral salts, which are so named because the color of their aqueous solutions is neutral to litmus. Examples include the neutral salts NaCl, KCl, K2S04, NaN03, KCl03, and KClO4.
