Soluble & Insoluble Salts
Question | Answer |
---|---|
acid + metal = | salt + H2 |
acid + metal oxide = | salt + H2O |
acid + metal hydroxide = | salt + H2O |
acid + metal carbonate = | salt + H2O + CO2 |
acid + ammonia = | ammonium salt |
Acid is a proton _________ and a base is a proton ___________ | donor, acceptor |
Describe the excess base method | 1Warm acid while adding base/metal 2Add base/metal until in excess 3Filter to remove excess unreacted base/metal 4Evaporate some water from remaining salt solution to form saturated solution 5Allow solution to cool + form crystals |
What is meant by the term 'saturated solution'? | A solution with the maximum amount of solute dissolved in it at that given temperature |
Why performing the excess base method, why do crystals form when the hot, saturated solution cools? | the salt becomes less soluble in the cold, highly concentrated solution so settles at the bottom |
Why should crystals not be dried by direct heating with bunsen burner? | water of crystallisation will be removed and anhydrous powder would be leftover |
Give the colour of universal indicator in acid/neutral/alkali | red/green/blue-purple |
Give the colour of phenolphthalein in acid/neutral/alkali | colourless/colourless/pink |
Give the colour of methyl orange in acid/neutral/alkali | red/pink-orange/yellow |
Give the colour of litmus in acid/alkali | red/blue |
