2.g- Acids, bases and salt preparations Flashcards
describe the production of a pure salt from an insoluble base and acid
eg. copper (11) sulphate (blue salt crystals) from copper oxide and sulphuric acid
- acid + insoluble base ( metal oxide / metal hydroxide)
- heat acid gently in a water bath ( do not let it boil) (speeds up reaction)
- add base to acid and stir with glass rod until all has dissolved
- continue adding base to acid until no more will dissolve ( base in excess= no left over acid in product )
- filter solution into conical flask
- heat the solution gently in an evaporating basin using a Bunsen burner to slowly evaporate some of the water
- leave solution to cool and allow the salt to crystallise
- filter off the solid salt and allow it to dry.

understand acid and base in terms of proton transfer
???
name of acid + base reaction
proton transfer
why is acid + base called proton transfer
acid = proton donor = H+ ions
base = proton acceptor = OH- ions
what is formed during a neutralisation reaction
a salt
acid + base = salt + water
acid to salts
hydrochloric acid =???
sulphuric acid = ???
nitric acid = ???
chloride salts
sulphate salts
nitrate salts
acid + metal oxide =???
salt + water
acid + metal hydroxide = ???
salt + water
acid + ammonium
ammonium salt ( eg. ammonium sulphate )
