Question
- A. To ensure complete reaction of the acid - correct redox focus for required practical
- B. Wrong redox focus: confuses required practical with a nearby Unit 4.4 chemical change idea
- C. Wrong particle check: uses the wrong ion, electrode, acid-base term, or product for Soluble salts
- D. Wrong reaction link: does not support Explain how to obtain a pure dry sample of a named soluble salt in the required practical
Answer
The correct option is To ensure complete reaction of the acid - correct redox focus for required practical.
Explanation
The correct option is To ensure complete reaction of the acid - correct redox focus for required practical. To ensure complete reaction of the acid - correct redox focus for required practical is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to explain how to obtain a pure dry sample of a named soluble salt in the required practical. This redox focus variant asks students to separate required practical from similar Unit 4.4 chemical-change ideas. The reasoning belongs to Soluble salts within Reactions of acids, so it should not be confused with nearby ideas about acids, alkalis, bases, oxidation, reduction, displacement, reactivity, electrolysis, electrodes, ions, pH, or salt preparation unless those are named in the objective. Use the focus term required practical to keep the answer aligned with AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462 Unit 4.4 Chemical changes. Keep acid, alkali and base distinct; keep oxidation and reduction distinct; do not mix reduction with displacement; keep electrolysis separate from electroplating; distinguish anode from cathode, positive ions from negative ions, oxidation state from ionic charge, and strong acid from concentrated acid. The other options are weaker because they either use the wrong reaction type, wrong ion, wrong electrode, wrong acid-base distinction, vague wording, or the wrong chemical-change context.
Common mistake
Common Mistake in Salt Preparation
Students often forget to add the insoluble solid in excess when preparing a soluble salt, leading to incomplete reaction and impurities in the final product.
Always add the insoluble solid in excess to ensure that all the acid reacts and to filter out any unreacted solid, resulting in a pure dry sample of the soluble salt.
