13.  There are 3 ways of preparing salts. But to choose which way depends on:  1. Whether the salt is soluble in water?  2. Whether the starting materials are soluble in water?

24. Filter the crystals and dry them by squeezing them between sheets of filter paper. Pour the filtrate into an evaporating dish and heat to evaporate most of the water. This produces a hot saturated solution of the salt. Let the solution cool. Remove the excess metal/metal carbonate/ base by filtering and collect the filtrate. The filtrate contains the solution of the salt you want.) Add the metal/metal carbonate/ base slowly with stirring to hot acid (what acid depends on what salts you want) until no more dissolves. (This means all the acid is used up )

25.  Notice that all sodium, potassium and ammonium salts are SOLUBLE in water.  So you cannot use Method 1 for any of such salts! Why?

26.  To tell when all the acid has been completely used up, we have to use titration, by using an indicator.  What is an indicator?

Add one or two drops of methyl orange to the NaOH solution. The solution turns yellow. Add dilute HNO 3 from the burette slowly until the solution turns orange permanently. This is the end-point. The acid is all used up. V 2 cm 3 Record the final burette reading (V 2 cm 3 ). Hence, the volume of acid required for complete neutralization = (V 2 – V 1 ) cm 3.

28. 1. Pipette 25.0cm 3 of NaOH into a beaker. Then add (V 2 – V 1 ) cm 3 of dilute nitric acid from the burette. This time do not add indicator. Why? 2. Heat to evaporate the water till it is saturated. 3. Cool the saturated solution so that the salt crystallizes. 4. Filter to collect the crystals. 5. Dry the crystals between a few sheets of filter paper.

30. Record the final burette reading (V2 cm3 ). Hence, the volume of acid required for complete neutralization = (V 2 – V 1 ) cm3. Add dilute HNO3 from the burette slowly until the solution turns orange permanently. This is the end-point. Add one or two drops of methyl orange to the alkali solution. The solution turns yellow. (Note, if you have a strong acid and weak base, you use methyl orange, if you have a strong base and weak acid, use phenolphthalein. If both are strong, you can use either indicator. Pipette 25.0 cm 3 of dilute alkali (depending on what salt you want) into a conical flask. Fill up a burette with dilute acid (depending on what salt you want) and note down the initial burette reading (V1 cm3 ).
