Salts Preparation Flashcards
Give 4 soluble salts with no exceptions
Sodium
Potassium
Ammonium
Nitrates
Are chlorides soluble or insoluble
Soluble
EXCEPT SILVER OR LEAD CHLORIDE
Are sulphates soluble or insoluble
Soluble
EXCEPT
BARIUM sulfate
CALCIUM sulfate
LEAD sulfate
Give two insoluble salts and their exceptions
Carbonates - Except
Sodium
Potassium
Ammonium
Hydroxides - Except Sodium Potassium Ammonium Calcium
How do you make lead iodide
15cm3 of potassium iodide in a beaker
15cm3 of nitrate solution in too.
It will turn yellow
Filter into a conical flask
Wash the lead iodide off with distilled water
Place funnel in boiling tube and add hot water
Place boiling tube in hot water bath
How do you find n in the water crystallisation formulae questions
Mass
———- Do this to both substances and then find the simplest ratio
mr
What method do you use if the salt is insoluble
Precipitation method
What method do you use if the salt is soluble and is NOT a Sodium
Potassium
Ammonium salt
Excess solid method
What method do you use if the salt is soluble and IS a Sodium
Potassium
Ammonium salt
Titration method
Give the solubility equation for the precipitation method
aq + aq = aq + S
aq = soluble S = insoluble
Give the solubility equation for the excess solid method method
aq + S = aq + S
Give the solubility equation for the Titration method
aq + aq = aq + aq
Describe the excess solid method (7)
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 until a hot saturated solution forms
5) Allow solution to cool so that hydrated crystals form
6) Remove the crystals by filtration and wash with distilled water
7) Dry by leaving them in a warm place
Describe the Precipitation method (4)
Mix the two salts together in a beaker Stir with glass rod Filter using filter paper and funnel Wash Dry by leaving a warm place
Describe the Titration method (8)
1) Pipette 25cm3 of alkali into a conical flask
2) Do not add indicator
3) 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 col so that hydrated crystals form
7) Remove crystals by filtration and wash
8) Dry by leaving in a warm place
