Q

Explain the steps to selecting the correct method to prepare a salt

A
  1. Is the salt soluble?
  2. If yes, is it a sodium or potassium salt?
    –> If not, PRECIPITATION
  3. NOT a sodium or potassium salt –> EXCESS SOLID
    IF YES –> TITRATION

Q

Explain the 7 steps of the excess solid method

A
  1. Heat acid in a beaker
  2. Add base until excess and stir with glass rod
  3. Filter the mixture using filter paper and funnel
  4. Heat the filtered solution (filtrate) until a hot saturated solution forms
  5. Allow the solution to cool so that hydrated crystals form
  6. Remove the crystals by filtration and wash with distilled water
  7. Dry by leaving in a warm place
22
Q

Why do you wash the crystals with distilled water?

A

To get rid of the impurities

23
Q

Explain the 5 steps of the precipitation method

A
  1. Mix two salt solutions together in a beaker
  2. Stir with a glass rod
  3. Filter using filter paper and funnel
  4. Wash with distilled water
  5. Dry by leaving in a warm place
24
Q

Explain the 9 steps of the titration method

A
  1. Pipette 25cm^3 of alkali into a conical flask
  2. Do not add indicator
  3. (Using titration values) Titrate the known volume acid into conical flask containing alkali
  4. Transfer to an evaporating basin
  5. Heat the solution until a hot saturated solution forms
  6. Allow the solution to cool so that hydrated crystals form
  7. Remove the crystals by filtration
  8. Wash with distilled water
  9. Dry
25
