2 Making Salts Flashcards
In the precipitation method, Two salts are added to make an insoluble salt.
What must be done to the two salts which are added together?
The two soluble salts must be dissolved in water so that their ions are dissociated (in solution)
In the precipitation method, Two soluble salts are added together to form an insoluble salt.
Which two salts can be used to make copper carbonate?
copper nitrate AND sodium carbonate
In the titration method we must titrate until we acheve concordant results. What does this mean?
At least two titres which are within 0.2 cm3 of each other.
In the precipitation method, Two soluble salts are added together to form an insoluble salt.
Which two salts can be used to make barium sulfate?
Barium nitrate AND sodium sulfate
What is the chemical formula and valency of a carbonate ion?
CO32-
In the titration method we must titrate until we acheve concordant results. What is the significance of the mean of the concordant results?
This is the exact volume of acid/alkali needed to neutralise and form a pure salt solution.
Pure crystals of the salt can then be formed from this solution
In the precipitation method, Two soluble salts are added together to form an insoluble salt.
Which two salts can be used to make calcium sulfate?
calcium nitrate AND sodium sulfate
Which of the following salts are soluble?
Na2O
KOH
(NH4)2CO3
All of them!
All oxides, hydroxide and carbonate salts are INSOLUBLE except for sodium, potassium and ammonium salts.
In the titration method we must titrate until we acheve concordant results. What do we do with these concordant results?
We find the mean of the concordant results.
In the titration method we must titrate until we acheve concordant results. Why do we use both a burette and pipette during titration?
Both a pipette and burette allow us to read volumes of solution to a small uncertainty. Making our reading accurate.
Which of the following salts are soluble?
BaSO4
CaSO4
PbSO4
None of them!
All sulphates salts are soluble except for Barium (Ba2+), calcium (Ca2+) or lead (Pb2+)
In the insoluble base method a base is added to a hot acid. What is kept to make the pure sample of the salt?
filtrate OR residue
filtrate
The residue is the excess base added
What is the chemical formula and valency of a iron ion?
Fe2+ OR Fe3+
What is the chemical formula and valency of a silver ion?
Ag1+
What is the solubility rules for halide salts?
Cl-, Br- and I-
All halide salts are SOLUBLE - except for silver (Ag+) and lead (Pb2+)
What is the chemical formula and valency of a lead ion?
Pb2+
What soluble salts could be used to make lead iodide by the precipitation method
lead nitrate
sodium iodide
HINT: You can always choose a nitrate and sodium salt as all nitrate salts are soluble and all sodium salts are soluble
lead nitrate + sodium iodide ⇒ lead iodide + sodium nitrate
In the precipitation method, Two soluble salts are added together to form an insoluble salt.
Which two soluble salts could be used to make lead iodide?
Lead nitrate AND sodium iodide
What are the two questions which you need to answer when determining which method is needed to make a salt?
- Is the salt soluble or insoluble?
- Is it a sodium, potassium or ammonium salt?
Add state symbols to the chemical equation below
Lead nitrate + sodium sulfate ⇒ lead sulfate + sodium nitrate
Pb(NO3)2 + Na2SO4 ⇒ PbSO4 + 2NaNO3
Pb(NO3)2 (aq)+ Na2SO4 (aq) ⇒ PbSO4 (s) + 2NaNO3 (aq)
PbSO4 is the precipitate
