Q

What observations can be made when a metal reacts with an acid?

A
  • Rapid fizzing
  • Colourless gas is evolved (which pops with a lit splint (test for hydrogen))
  • Mixture becomes very warm
  • Metal gradually disappears to have a colourless solution

Q

Neutralisation

A
  • Measure 50cm3 of dilute acid in a beaker and heat it in a tripod and gauss using a Bunsen burner
  • Add excess reactant and heat and stir till no more reacts
  • Filter off the excess and transfer the filtrate to an evaporating basin
  • Heat the solution to boil off the water
  • Allow crystals to form and solution to cool before filtering off the crystals
  • Dry off the crystals

Q

Titration

A
  • 25cm3 of metal hydroxide solution is transferred to a conical flask by a pipette and a few drops of methyl orange are added as an indicator
  • Dilute acid is added from a burette until the indicator just turns from yellow to orange
  • The volume of acid is noted and the same volumes of acid and alkali are mixed together in a clean conical flask without indicator
  • The solution is heated to evaporate off the water until it is saturated, then left to cool so crystals form
  • Filter off the remaining solution
  • Dry off the crystals
17
Q

Precipitation

A
  • Mix 25cm3 of each reactant
  • Filter off the remaining solution
  • Wash the residue with distilled water to filter out any contaminants (this needs to be repeated)
  • Dry off the salt
18
Q

If the salt is insoluble

A

Precipitation

19
Q

If the salt is sodium, potassium or ammonium salt

20
Q

If the salt is soluble but not a sodium, potassium or ammonium salt

A

Neutralisation
