Naming Salts

A salt is formed when the hydrogen atom in an acid is replaced by a metal or ammonium ion.
The name of a salt has two parts: first from the metal/metal oxide/carbonate, second from the acid.
Hydrochloric acid produces chlorides; sulfuric acid produces sulfates; nitric acid produces nitrates.
Example: sodium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid → sodium chloride.

Method A1: Excess Metal

Used for metals that react with dilute acids (e.g., Mg + H₂SO₄).
Add dilute acid to a beaker, then add metal in small pieces until no more reacts (metal in excess).
Filter to remove excess metal; heat the filtrate gently until concentrated.
Leave to crystallise, decant excess liquid, dry crystals with filter paper.
Example: Mg(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → MgSO₄(aq) + H₂(g).

Preparing a soluble salt by the excess solid method

Method A2: Excess Insoluble Base

Used for insoluble bases such as metal oxides (e.g., CuO).
Warm dilute acid gently, add insoluble base slowly while stirring until no more reacts (base in excess).
Filter to remove excess base; heat filtrate until concentrated.
Crystallise, decant, and dry crystals.
Example: CuO(s) + H₂SO₄(aq) → CuSO₄(aq) + H₂O(l).

Preparing a soluble salt by the excess solid method

Method A3: Excess Insoluble Carbonate

Used for insoluble metal carbonates (e.g., CaCO₃).
Warm dilute acid, add carbonate slowly until no more reacts (carbonate in excess).
Filter, heat filtrate, crystallise, and dry.
Example: CaCO₃(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl₂(aq) + CO₂(g) + H₂O(l).

Preparing a soluble salt by the excess solid method

Method B: Titration (Soluble Alkali)

Used for soluble bases like NaOH.
Pipette alkali into conical flask, add indicator (e.g., phenolphthalein).
Add acid from burette until colour change (end point); record volume.
Repeat without indicator using same volume of acid.
Heat neutral solution to concentrate, crystallise, and dry.
Example: NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l).

Preparing a soluble salt by titration

Preparing Insoluble Salts (Precipitation)

Extended tier only: use precipitation reaction between two soluble reactants.
Mix aqueous solutions of two soluble salts; insoluble salt forms as precipitate.
Filter to collect precipitate, wash with distilled water, dry in warm oven.
Example: Pb(NO₃)₂(aq) + K₂SO₄(aq) → PbSO₄(s) + 2KNO₃(aq).

Preparing an insoluble salt by precipitation

Hydrated & Anhydrous Salts

Hydrated salts contain water within their crystal structure (e.g., blue CuSO₄·5H₂O).
Anhydrous salts contain no water (e.g., white CuSO₄).
Heating hydrated copper(II) sulfate removes water, turning it white (dehydration).
Adding water to anhydrous copper(II) sulfate reverses the reaction, turning it blue.
Equation: hydrated CuSO₄ ⇌ anhydrous CuSO₄ + water.

Dehydration of hydrated copper(II) sulfate
