Quick student answer
How do you explain the insoluble solid is added in excess when preparing a soluble salt?
Direct answer
In Chemistry, this page helps you answer questions about the insoluble solid is added in excess when preparing a soluble salt within Reactions of acids. Focus on the key process, correct scientific terms, and how the idea links to exam-style questions. Key terms to check are Insoluble solid and Excess reactant.
Key terms
- Insoluble solid: A substance that does not dissolve in a solvent, used in excess to ensure complete reaction with an acid.
- Excess reactant: A reactant that is present in a greater amount than necessary to completely react with another reactant.
Common trap
Excess Solid Misunderstanding: Emphasize that the excess solid ensures that any unreacted acid is neutralised, and the remaining solid can be filtered out, leaving a pure salt solution.
