20
Q

what is formed when acid and ammonia react

A

ammonia salt

21
Q

what is formed when an acid and metal carbonate react

A

slalt+water+carbon doxide

22
Q

what does a tritation do

A

allows you to find out how much acid it needed to neutralise and alkali (or vise versa)

23
Q

how do you carry out tritation

A

using a pippete and pippert filler add some alkali(25cm3) to a conical flask and with 3 drops of thenothphalein indicator. Fill a biruette with acid, make sure you do this below eye level. Using the burette add the acid to the alkaline a bit at a time and give the conical flask a regular swirl, go slower towards the end point. Record the reading and repeat to get co coordinate results

24
Q

how do you work out number of moles

A

concentration*volume

25
Q

are common salts of sodium,pottasium and ammonia soluble or insoluble

A

soluble

26
Q

are all nitrates soluble or insoluble

A

soluble

27
Q

are common chlorides soluble or insoluble

A

all are soluble except sliver chloride and lead chloride

28
Q

are common sulfates oluble or insoluble

A

insoluble execpt sodium potassium and ammonium sulfate

29
Q

are common hydroxides soluble or insoluble

A

insoluble exexpt sodium pottasium and calcium

30
Q

whar reaction do you use to get a pure dry sample of a insoluble salt

A

precipitation reaction

31
Q

how do you make lead sulfate (insoluble)

A

add one spatula of lead nitrate to a test tube with deionised water to dissolve it.Then in a seperate test tube do the same with magnesium sulfate. Then tip the 2 solutions into a beaker and stir , a lead sulfate precipitate should form, pour contents into filter paper and scrape out precipitate

32
Q

how do you make soluble salts

A

reacting an acid that contains one of the ions you want in a salt with an insoluble base that contains the other ion you need.( Often a metal hydroxide or metal oxide) Start by heating up the acid in a hot water bath , then add the base to the acid, the base and acid will then react to form a soluble salt(and water). Filter the exexs solid sp only the salt andwater is left. Heat the solution to remove some of the water.

33
Q

how do you make insoluable salts

A

to make insoluable salts you need to use the precipitation method - pick the 2 right soluble salts and mix them together to get an isoluable salt e.g to make lead sulfate (insoluble) mix lead nitrate and magnesium sulfate (both soluble)

34
Q

how do you make soluble salts using an acid and alkali

A

First you do a tritation to work out how much alkali is needed to neutralise the acid. Then do the same as a tritation but with no indicator and slowly evaporate off some of the watet to leave crytals
