 ACIDS AND SALTS

• Salts formed using citric acid are called citrates.

WAYS OF MAKING SALTS
A METAL WITH AN ACID
A METAL OXIDE AND AN ACID
 METHOD AND EQUIPMENT

• The fltrate is co++er sulfate solution.

HOW TO GET THE SALT CRYSTALS

1. Filter the mixture.

2. Place the fltrate in an eva+orating basin (dish) and
heat gently, water will eva+orate leaving the salt.

Not, you add excess metal oxide to make sure that

all the acid had reacted to get a neutralised salt
solution.
METAL CARBONATES AND ACIDS
METHOD AND EQUIPMENT

The fltrate is co++er chloride solution

HOW TO GET THE SALT CRYSTALS

1. Filter the mixture.

2. Place the fltrate in an eva+orating basin (dish) and
heat gently, water will eva+orate leaving the salt.

Not, you add excess metal carbonate to make sure

that all the acid had reacted to get a neutralised
salt solution.
ACIDS AND ALKALIS (NEUTRALIZATION)
METHOD AND EQUIPMENT
HOW TO GET THE SALT CRYSTALS PRODUCED
BY NEUTRALISATION REACTION.
1. Placed +owder of charcoal to remove the colour of the
universal indicator.
2. Filter the mixture.
3. Place the fltrate in an eva+orating basin (dish) and
heat gently, water will eva+orate leaving the salt.
ALKALIS AND BASES

• When a metal oxide dissolves in water, it forms an

alkaline solution. Metal oxides are called bases. Soluble
metal bases form alkalis when they dissolve in water.
