Common mistake
Common Mistake in Predicting Salts
Students often confuse the names of the salts produced from sulfuric acid reactions, mistakenly predicting salts like sodium sulfate instead of the correct salt, such as copper(II) sulfate.
To fix this, students should remember that the salt name is derived from the metal used in the reaction combined with the acid name. For sulfuric acid, the salt will always end in 'sulfate'.
