soluble salts;alkali

Question 1

what is the second method of making solouble salts?

Answer 1

reacting an acid with a soluble base(Alkali)

Question 2

why are we unable to use the first method with alkalis?

Answer 2

they are both colourless soloutions and both reactants are solouble so we are unable to know when it has been neutralised

Question 3

what are some examples of soluble bases/alkailis

Answer 3

sodium,potassium hydroxide

Question 4

what is the process of reacting an acid with a soluble base( alkali)?

Answer 4

-you add exactly the right amount of alkali to neutralise the acid using titration
- use an indicator to show how much alkail neutralises a known volume of acid
- -repeat titration using these volumes again
- -dont add indicatpr as it woll contaminate salt
- -evaporate water to crystallise salt off
