18
Q

Which salts are usually soluble?

A

Chlorides, sulfates, nitrates

19
Q

Which salts are usually insoluble?

A

Oxides, hydroxides

20
Q

What two methods are there of making soluble salts?

A

With acid and metal/insoluble base

With an alkali

21
Q

What is crystallisation?

A

Letting a solution containing salt slowly evaporate

22
Q

What does it mean when salt forms at the bottom of a solution?

A

It has been neutralised

23
Q

How do you separate salt from a solution?

A

Filter out metal

Evaporate water

Let it crystallise

24
Q

How do you make an insoluble salt?

A

Precipitation reaction

25
Q

Explain the precipitation reaction method

A

Choose two solutions with the ions needed to separate salt compound

Filter out and wash the solid

26
Q

How do you make a soluble salt with an alkali?

A

Use indicator to show when the right amount of alkali has been added

Can’t use more than is necessary to neutralise

Repeat without indicator

27
Q

What is a precipitate?

A

Insoluble salt

Can be filtered
