steps of salt preparation Flashcards
1
Q
precipitation
A
- Mix both solutions together, with one added in excess.
- Filter the mixture and collect the residue, which is the insoluble salt formed as a precipitate.
- Wash and dry the salt.
2
Q
titration
A
- Titrate the ____ solution with the dilute ____ acid using screened methyl orange until it just changes to grey.
- Repeat the experiment without the indicator to obtain a pure salt solution.
- Heat the solution till saturated and allow it to cool for the crystals to form.
- Dry the crystals to obtain pure and dry crystals.
3
Q
solid-acid reaction
A
- Add excess insoluble carbonate/base/metal into dilute ____ acid and stir.
- Filter the mixture to remove the excess, unreacted solids. The filtrate is the ____ solution.
- Heat the solution gently till saturated and allow it to cool for the crystals to form.
- Filter the mixture to collect the crystals, then dry them to obtain pure and dry crystals.
