17
Q

How to make a pure dry insoluble salt?

A
  1. Add 20cm3 of 0.1m calcium nitrate to a beaker then add 20cm3 of 0.1m sodium carbonate to the beaker. A white insoluble precipitate will form in the beaker
  2. Pour the contents into a filter paper in a funnel. Wash the beaker with small amounts of distilled water and add to the funnel
  3. When all the liquid is drained through, remove the filter paper and lay flat to dry.
18
Q

How to make a soluble salt?

A
  1. Measure 25cm3 sulphuric acid and pour into a beaker
  2. Add copper carbonate, small spatula at a time and stir until it dissolves.
  3. Repeat until it no longer dissolves
    4.Place filter paper into a funnel and pour the mixture through into a conical flask.
  4. Pour into an evaporating basin and leave to evaporate on a window

Copper sulphate crystals will form

19
Q

How to make a soluble salt using titrations?

A
  1. Use a measuring cylinder to measure 10cm3 of the alkali sodium hydroxide
  2. Pour into a conical flask
  3. Add 3 drops of phenolpthalein
  4. Fill the burette with hydrochloric acid
  5. Stand the conical flask on a white tile with the burette positioned above
  6. Open the tap and let it run through, swirling the flask constantly until it becomes neutral
  7. Read how much acid was needed and record
  8. Repeat
20
Q

What is a strong acid?

A

Acids that fully dissociate into ions to produce H+ ions

21
Q

What is a weak acid?

A

Acids that partially dissociate into ions to produce H+ ions
