8.1 SYNTHESISING SALTS
A salt is a compound formed when the hydrogen
ion, H+
from an acid is replaced by a metal ion
or an ammonium ion, NH4
+
Examples
HCl + NaOH  NaCl + H2O
2HNO3 + Zn  Zn(NO3)2 + H2
H2SO4 + MgCO3  MgSO4 + H2O + CO2

Acid + Alkali  Salt + H2O
Titration of acid and alkali
- Add acid to the alkali until it is neutral
with the aid of an indicator
- Repeat the procedure without using an
indicator
- Gently heat the filtrate to obtain a saturated solution (one-third of its original volume remains)
- Cool the hot saturated solution to allow it to crystallize
- Filter and dry the crystals by using filter paper
Other than K+
,Na+
NH4

salts
Acid + basic oxide  Salt + water
Acid + metal  Salt + Hydrogen gas
Acid + Metal Carbonate  Salt + Water + CO2
- Add basic oxide fillings/metals/metal carbonate to the acid and heat
it until some of it no longer dissolves. (This mean all acid has reacted
with the basic oxide/metal/metal carbonate)
- Filter to move excess solid residue
- Mix two solution containing cations and
anions of insoluble salts
- Stir using glass rod
- Filter using filter funnel
- Rinse the residue with distilled water
- Dry the residue with filter paper
