Q

What are

strong acids?

A

acids which completely dissociate in water

so the acid is completely reacted by the end of the reaction

Q

What are

weak acids?

27
Q

What are the soluble salts?

A
  • containing Sodium
  • containing Nitrate
  • containing Ammonium
  • containing Potassium
  • containing Ethanoate
  • group I salts
  • group VII salts (except silver and lead)
  • containing sulfate (except lead and barium)
28
Q

What are the insoluble salts?

A
  • containing anions (except SNAPE)
  • containing hydroxide (except SNAPE and barium)
29
Q

How do you make

soluble salts?

A
  1. React the metal, metal oxide or metal carbonate with the acid until all of the acid has reacted (use an excess of metal and heat).
  2. Filter the mixture to remove the excess solid metal, metal oxide or metal carbonate that remains.
  3. Concentrate the filtrate by heating the solution.
  4. Allow the solution to cool and crystals to form.
30
Q

How do you perform an

acid-alkali titration?

A
  1. Measure out the volume of the first solution and place into a conical flask.
  2. Add 2 drops of indicator to the conical flask.
  3. Measure the inital value on the burette and record in the results table.
  4. Add the second solution until the indicator changes colour. Add in drops toward the end point. Measure the volume on the burette and record in the results table.
  5. Once you have concordent results, repeat the experiment without indicator.
  6. Evaporate the water to leave your salt crystals.
31
Q

Define

concordent results.

(for a titration)

A

two (or more) readings within 0.20cm3

32
Q

What is the basic method of making

insoluble salts?

A
  1. Choose two solutions of soluble salts.
  2. React them together to form an insoluble salt.
  3. Filter the mixture to separate the insoluble salt.
  4. Rinse the solid with distilled water.
  5. Allow to dry.
