Steps And Types Of Salt Prep

Question 1

You want to prepare a group 1 salt. What salt preparation method should be used?

Answer 1

Titration

Question 2

You want to prepare an ammonium salt. What salt preparation method should be used?

Answer 2

Titration

Question 3

Why are group 1 ions never reacted with metal?

Answer 3

Too reactive

Question 4

What types of reactant starting material does titration need?

Answer 4

Aqueous acid and alkali

Question 5

General steps of titration?

Answer 5

1. First titration with indicator to obtain a volume of alkali needed for complete neutralization
2. Second titration without indicator by adding exact amount of alkali
3. Crystallization
   1) collect the salt crystals
   2) gently dry the crystals

Question 6

To prepare soluble salts that are not group 1 and ammonium?

Answer 6

Acid with excess insoluble base/metal

Question 7

Answer 7

Acid and insoluble base/ reactive metal

Question 8

General steps for acid with excess insoluble base/ metal

Answer 8

1. Add excess insoluble base/ metal
