IGCSE Prescribed Practical: Making Salts from Metals and Acids

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.

Investigation of Neutralizing Hydrochloric Acid with Sodium Hydroxide and Separating a Soluble Salt

By using activated charcoal to remove the indicator, this modified experiment demonstrates the neutralization of hydrochloric acid with sodium hydroxide and the separation of a soluble salt. The procedure can be used to investigate the stoichiometry of acid-base reactions and to determine the yield of a reaction.
