SALTS
1. Soluble salts (in water)
- made by neutralizing an acid.
-Prepared by :
- Method A: acid + solid metal, base or
carbonate
- Method B: acid + alkali (by titration)
2. Insoluble salts (in water)
-cannot be made by crystallisation methods
-made by ionic precipitation.
SUMMARY:
PREPARATION OF SOLUBLE
SALTS
Figure 5.26 (page 139) Method A
Water of crystalisation
-present in some salt crystals.
-the water gives the crystal its shape.
-in some cases it also gives them their
colour.
-salts are called hydrated salts
-if crystals have lost their water of
crystalisation, they are called anhydrous.
PREPARATION OF INSOLUBLE
SALTS

Strong acids
Weak acids
Strong alkali
Weak alkali
Basicity of acids
Determined by the number of H+ ions in
acids which can be replaced by a metal
forming salts.
