Q

What is the procedure to get a salt from soluble acid and soluble base reaction?

A

Procedure: Neutralisation by titration. It uses a known concentration of a soluble acid, which is neutralised by an alkali. It forms a salt solution that is dissolved in water.
Purification: Evaporation. Since a salt solution is produced the salt needs to be isolated. This is done by evaporation to remove most of the water. The crystalline salt can be dried on paper or left in a warm oven

Q

What is the procedure to get a salt from soluble acid and insoluble base reaction?

A

Procedure: Neutralisation. Add excess insoluble base/carbonate so that all acid fully reacts. Forms a salt solution (dissolved in water). Can do titration aswell.
Purification: Filtration and evaporation. Filtering the final solution removes any unreacted solid bases and evaporation is done to isolate the salt.

Q

How to find the amount of water associated with a salt experimentally?

A
  1. An accurate mass of hydrated salt is heated in a crucible to drive off all the water present
  2. The mass of the heated salt is recorded
  3. The salt is heated again until constant mass is obtained. This is now the anhydrous salt
    Calculation: mass of hydrated salt - mass of anhydrous salt = mass of water
