Q

why must be insoluble metal/base/carbonate be added in excess in the acid + excess insoluble reagent method of preparing soluble salts?

A

to use up all the acid.

[This ensures the aqueous salt can easily filtered out. If excess acid was present, the aqueous salt would be contaminated by the acid.]

Q

why must a titration be carried out twice - once with indicator, once without - in order to prepare a salt?

A

the first titration, with the indicator, is to determine the volumes of acid and alkali required.

the second titration, without the indicator, is to ensure the salt formed is pure and not contaiminated with indicator.
