SALTS 1) What is salt?

Answer : A salt is an ionic compound which results when hydrogen ion in an acid is replaced by a metallic or ammonium ion(NH4) 2)What is the composition of salts? Answer : Salt composed of cation from the base and anion from the acid which is hold by strong ionic bonds TYPE OF SALTS SOLUBLE SALT A) All NITRATES and ETHANOATES B) All SODIUM,POTASSIUM, AMMONIUM salt C) All Chloride except AgCl,PbCl2, Hg Cl2 D) All Sulphate except BaSO4, PbSO4 and CaSO4 INSOLUBLE SALTS CHLORIDE(Che PAH) Pb 2+ 3)What are the uses of salt? Answer: a)medical antacid and plaster of Paris Ca2+ b)industries sodium hypochlorite as bleaching agent in laundry Silver bromide used in photograpy c) Agricultural used as pesticide copper sulphate Used as fertilizers PREPARATION OF A SOLUBLE SALTS a) Reaction of an acid with soluble base(Group 1 Elements) b) Reaction with acid and metal c) Reaction of acid with metal oxide d) Reaction of an acid with a carbonate Ba2+ CARBONATE,OXIDE, HYDROXIDE Only soluble with Group 1 Elements, Ammonium,CaO, BaO. The rest does not soluble in water Ag+ Hg+ SULPHATES (Sayang Pak Cik Ba) Pb2+

4)What is solubility? Answer : Solubility is the ability to dissolve in a solvent. Soluble salt dissolve in water at room temperature while insoluble salts does not dissolve in water at room temperature

SOLUBLE SALTS As metal ,their oxide and carbonates are not soluble in water,they should be added in excess to ensure that all acid has reacted. Excess metal, oxides and carbonates are filtered out after the reaction In the Titration of sodium,potassium ammonium

Preparation of soluble salt other than sodium,potassium,or ammonium -=-p

Dillute acid (metal or metallic in excess)

salt solution + excess solid

acid+ base (titration)

Dillute salt solution (evaporating/boiling)

Filtrate:Dilute salt solution (evaporating/boiling cooling,filtrate)

Dry cystal (Drying) Saturated salt solution (cooling)

Residue: Excess solid reactant

Formation of crystal (filtration)

Dry Crystal

The recrystallisation method is also can be used to purity salts
