Sats & Salt Making/chemical Tests For Ions And Gases Flashcards
What is a solid salt called?
A precipitate
What salts are soluble?
➡️ALL sodium, potassium and ammonium salts
➡️ALL nitrates
➡️MOST chlorides bromides and iodides (hailades)
➡️MOST sulphates
➡️sodium, potassium and ammonium carbonates
➡️sodium, calcium, ammonium and potassium hydroxides
What hailaides are insoluable?
Silver and lead hailades
What sulphates are insoluble?
Lead, barium and calcium sulphates
What salts are insoluble?
➡️ MOST carbonates
➡️ MOST hydroxides
➡️ silver & lead hailades
➡️ lead, barium & calcium sulphates
Which carbonates are soluble?
Sodium, potassium & ammonium carbonates
Which hydroxides are soluble?
Sodium, potassium, ammonium and calcium hydroxides
How do you obtain a insoluble salt?
By mixing two soluble salts
Method of soluble salt using excess solid copper
➡️ add copper to sulphuric acid until you sore excess copper in solution (fizzing & copper disappears)
➡️ filter out excess copper
➡️ heat with Bunsen to remove excess water
➡️ pour remaining solution in basin until it crystallises (blue solution)
Method of making soluble salt by titration
➡️Use burette and fill with acid
➡️alkali in flask add phenolphthalein & record start
➡️ add acid to alkali until solution has gone pink to colourless
➡️record end point on burette
➡️ repeat this again without indicator so solution isn’t contaminated until you get 2 concordant results. (Without indicator)
➡️put in evaporation basin and leave to crystallise
➡️ wash crystals with distilled water
➡️ dry in drying oven to obtain a pure dry salt
Method INSOLUBLE salt sodium sulphate and barium chloride solutions
➡️add soldier sluphate to a test tube
➡️ add barium chloride to same test tube
➡️ filter out solution into conical flask
➡️ rinse residue with distilled water
➡️ remove filter paper & residue and leave in watch glass
➡️ dry salt in drying oven
What is the test for carbonates?
➡️ add dilute HCl (metal carbonate + acid -> salt + water + Co2
➡️positive result -> Co2 is produced
Test for sulphates
➡️ Use dilute HCl and add barium chloride solution
➡️ positive result -> a white precipitate of barium sulphate will form
Test for chlorides
➡️ use dilute nitric acid and add silver nitrate solution
➡️ positive result -> white precipitate of silver chloride will form
Test for bromides
➡️ use dilute nitric acid and add silver nitrate solution
➡️ cream precipitate of silver bromide forms
