  1. Preparation of Salts Chemistry (IGCSE / O-Level)
  2. What will you learn in this lesson? • Preparation, separation and purification of soluble salts by reaction of an acid with: (a) an alkali by titration (b) excess metal (c) excess insoluble base (d) excess insoluble carbonate • Preparation of insoluble salts by precipitation
  3. Preparation of Soluble Salts Start Does the metal react with acids? Is the base or carbonate soluble? Yes No Does it react safely ? Yes Method A: can prepare salt by using excess metal and acid. followed by filtration, e.g MgSOtOHP. znC12 Method A can salt by reacting acid with excess, solid. followed by filtration. e.g. cuso,.5H.o Method B: can use titration method e.g. Naa. K,soa, NH.NO, Salt crystals prepared by evaporation and crystall isation Figure 12.7: Flow chart showing which method to use for preparing soluble salts.
  4. Preparation of Soluble Salts (contd.) Method A — acid plus solid metal, base or carbonate: • • Stage 1: An excess of the solid is added to the acid and allowed to react. Using an excess of the solid makes sure that all the acid is used up. If it is not used up at this stage, the acid would become more concentrated when the water is evaporated later (stage 3). Stage 2: The excess solid is filtered out. Stage 3: The filtrate is gently evaporated to concentrate the salt solution. This can be done on a heated water-bath (Figure 12.8) or sand tray (Figure 12.9). Stage 4: When crystals can be seen forming (crystallisation point), heating is stopped and the solution is left to crystallise. Stage 5: The concentrated solution is cooled to let the crystals forrn. The crystals are filtered off and washed with a little distilled water. Then the crystals are dried carefully between filter papers (Figure 12.10),

  7. Preparation of Soluble Salts (contd.) Method B — acid plus alkali by titration: Titration: A method of quantitative analysis using solutions: one solution is slowly added to the known volume of another solution using a burrette until an end point is reached. Method B involves the neutralization of acids using alkali (sodium hydroxide) or a soluble carbonate (e.g., sodium carbonate). Both the reactants and products are colorless so indicator is used to find the neutralization point or end point methyl orange acid yell OW colourless Add acid until the colour just changes. Figure 12.12 a: Cotour changes for Hie indicators methyl orange and thymolphthalein during the titration. b: Actual colours of methyl orange in acid and alkali.
  8. Preparation of Soluble Salts (contd.) Method B — acid plus alkali by titration: • Stage 1: The acid solution is poured into a burette. The burette is used to accurately measure the volume of sOlution added. A known volume of alkali solution is placed in a conical flask using a volumetric pipette. The pipette delivers a fixed volume accurately. A few drops of an indicator (e.g. thymolphthalein or methyl orange) are added to the flask. Stage 2: The acid solution is run into the flask a few drops at a time from the burette until the indicator just changes colour (Figure 12.12). The conical flask must also be swirled after each portion of acid to ensure everything is mixed and the reaction is complete. Having found the end-point for the reaction, the volume of acid (titre volume) added is noted. The experiment is then repeated without using the indicator. The same known volume of alkali is used in the flask. The same volume of acid as noted in the first part is then run into the flask. Alternatively, activated charcoal can be added to remove the coloured indicator. The charcoal can then be filtered off. Stage 3: The salt soMion is evaporated and cooled to form crystals as described in method A.
  9. Preparation of Soluble Salts (contd.) Method B — acid plus alkali by titration: burette end-point has been reached indicator afteradding the indicator of the solution and crystallisation as in method A

In the methods of preparing a salt using a solid m«ab base or carbonate, Why is the solid used in In such methods, how is the excess solid removed once the reaction has finished? name the two important pieces of graduated glassware used in the titration method of preparing a salt. What colour is the indicator methyl orange ih alkali? Why should the crystals prepared at the end of expedrnents to prepare salts not be heated too strongly when drying them? There are two methods of pr4aring soluble salts depending on the solubility of the reagent reacted with the acid: method A (titration using a burette and an indicator) and method B (addition of an excess of a base ora metal to a dilute acid and removal of the excess sorld). Which method would you use to prQare the soluble salt, zinc sulfate, from the insoluble base, zinc oxide? i Write down the method. il Wife down the reagent to use. iii Write the word equation.
  11. Preparing Insoluble Salts by Precipitation Insoluble salts forms a layer on the surface and the reaction stops. E.g., the reaction between marble chips and sulfuric acid forms a layer of insoluble calcium sulfate on marble chips. layer of insoluble calcium suffate Such insoluble salts cannot be made by crystallization methods.
