IGCSE Prescribed Practical: Making Salts from Metals and Acids

Making salts is an essential part of chemistry, and this practical investigation teaches students how to produce different types of salts using different metals and acids. In this blog, we'll explore the step-by-step methods for producing a pure, dry sample of a soluble and insoluble salt using filtration, evaporation, and crystallization techniques. We'll also discuss the differences between soluble and insoluble salts, as well as how to assess the purity of salt samples. By the end of this article, you'll have a greater understanding of the importance of salts in chemistry and how they are produced.
