Salts Flashcards
Salts are
**ionic ** compounds
THEY CONTAIN A ANION AND CATION
State 2 methods to create soluble salt
- Reacting an acid with a metal, insoluble base/carbonate
- Titration
How to create insoluble salt?
Precipitation
mixing 2 solutions to form an insoluble solid that separates from the reaction mixture

Identify H2 gas
no colour no smell
test with lighted splint
lighted splint extinguish with pop
Identify O2 gas
no colour no smell
test with glowing splint
glowing splint rekindle
Identify Co2 gas
no colour no smell
bubble gas through limewater
white ppt formed
Identify Cl2 gas
greenish yellow gas
pungent smell
moist red litmus paper turn blue then bleached
Identify SO2 gas
colourless but pungent smell
Use KMnO4 turn colourless
Identify NH3 gas
colourless but pungent smell
Moist red litmus paper turn blue
Identify CO3 ion
add dilute HCL
pass gas into limewater
white ppt observed
Identify NO3- ion
add NaOH then piece of Al foil
effervescence and red litmus paper turns blue

Identify I- ions
add dilute nitric acid, the add silver nitrate solution
yellow ppt formed
Test for water
anydrous Cu2SO4
should turn blue if water present
