What is salt? Salt is an ionic compound formed when the hydrogen ion, H+ from acid is replaced by a metal ion or ammonium ion, NH4+
In the preparation of salts, we must identify the type of salt. This can be done by analysing the cations and the anions that are present in salts.
Two types of salts Soluble salt salts that can be dissolve in water at room temperature Insoluble salt salts cannot be dissolve in water at room temperature Solubility in water All dissolves in water
Type of salt Sodium salts Potassium salts Ammonium salts Nitrate salts Chloride salts All dissolves in water Sulphate salts
All dissolves in water All dissolves in water, Except: Lead(II) chloride, Silver chloride, Mercury chloride, Except: Lead(II) sulphate, Barium sulfat, Calcium sulfat, PbCl2 AgCl HgCl PbSO4 BaSO4 CaSO4
Carbonate salts
All did not dissolves in water, Except: Sodium carbonate, Na2CO3 Potassium carbonate, K2CO3 Ammonium carbonate, (NH4)2CO3
Special Properties of lead(II) chloride and lead(II) iodide NOTES: Lead halide such as lead(II) chloride (PbCl2), lead(II) bromide (PbBr2), and lead(II) iodide (PbI2) did not dissolve in cold water but dissolve in hot water.

The colour of solution is recorded. 3. A 50 cm3 burette is filled with hydrochloric acid. The initial burette reading is recorded. 4.

8. The mixture is transferred into a evaporating dish. 9. The colourless solution is slowly heated/evaporated until its saturated or to about one-third (1/3) of the original volume. 10. The saturated solution is then cooled to allow crystallization to occur. Step 3: Purification

10. The white crystals formed are then filtered, rinsed with a little distilled water and dried by pressing between filter paper. Note: Phenolphthalein indicator is used at the beginning of the experiment to determine the volume of hydrochloric acid that is required to react completely with 25 cm3 of sodium hydroxide. However experiment is repeated without using phenolphthalein so that the salt prepared will not contaminated by the indicator.

B. Preparing soluble salt through reaction between acid i. Metal oxide. ii. Metal iii. Metal carbonate Procedure To Prepare a Soluble Salt (not Na, K or NH4+) 50 cm3 of acid is measured using a measuring cylinder and poured into a beaker. The acid is heated slowly. Using a spatula, metal / metal oxide / metal carbonate powder is added a little at a time while stirring the mixture with a glass rod. The addition of the solid powder is stopped when some solids no longer dissolve anymore. (the solid is excess and all the acid is completely neutralised by the solid)
A cid
The filtrate is transferred to an evaporating dish. The filtrate is heated until saturated. (The filtrate is evaporated to about one-third (1/3) of the original volume) 11
The saturated solution is then allowed to cool to room temperature and the salt crystals are formed. The crystals are filtered and rinsed with a little cold distilled water. Salt crystals are then dried by pressing it between filter papers.

THIS NOTES OK Unreactive metal such as lead (Pb), copper (Cu), and silver (Ag) cannot react with dilute asid. So to prepare salt contains lead ions (Pb2+), copper ions (Cu2+) or silver ions (Ag+), we must use either oxide powder or carbonate powder only.

Most sulphate salts are not decomposed by heat. Only a few sulphate such as iron(II) sulphate,zinc sulphate and copper sulphate decompose to sulphur dioxide or sulphur trioxide gas when heated. All chloride salts are stable when heated except ammonium chloride. Ammonium chloride sublimes and decomposes to produce ammonia gas and hydrogen chloride gas.

Zn2+ ion is the only cation that form white precipitate and dissolves in both excess NaOH and NH3 solutions. Mg2+ ion is the only cation that form white precipitate and insoluble in both excess NaOH and NH3 solutions. Ca2+ ion in the only cation that form white precipitate in NaOH solutions, but no precipitate in NH3 solution. Fe2+ , Fe3+ and Cu2+ ions is easy to spot because the ions shows coloured precipitate. Pb2+ ion and Al3+ ion form white precipitate and dissolves in excess NaOH solution, but insoluble in excess NH3 solutions.
How to differentiate between Pb2+ and Al3+? A chemical tests can be carried out in the laboratory to differentiate between Pb2+ and Al3+. (Please refer to Confirmatory Test for Pb2+, in ealier notes).
Example: lead(II) nitrate solution and aluminium nitrate solution Sodium sulphate solution is added slowly into 2 cm3 of the solution to be tested in a test tube. If a white precipitate is formed, then then the solution tested is lead(II) nitrate. If no change occurs, then the solution tested is aluminium nitrate.
Now let see some questions about salt. Try to solve it by yourself first and then compare with the answers provided.

(b) aluminium nitrate solution and zinc nitrate solution Aqueous ammonia solution is poured slowly into 2 cm3 of the solution to be tested in a test tube until in excess. If a white precipitate that dissolves in excess aqueous ammonia solution is formed, than the solution tested is zinc nitrate.

If no change occurs, then the solution tested is potassium chloride (d) iron(II) sulphate solution and iron(III) sulphate solution Potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) solution is poured into 2 cm3 of the solution to be tested in a test tube. If a dark blue precipitate is formed, then the solution tested is iron(III) chloride. If no change occurs, then the solution tested is iron(II) chloride. Or Potassium hexacyanoferrate(III) solution is poured into 2 cm3 of the solution to be tested in a test tube. If a greenish-brown solution is formed, then the solution tested is iron(III) chloride. If no change occurs, then the solution tested is iron(II) chloride. Or Potassium thiocyanate solution is poured into 2 cm3 of the solution to be tested in a test tube. If a blood red colouration is formed, then the solution tested is iron(III) chloride. If no change occurs, then the solution tested is iron(II) chloride.
